Serena Williams took another step towards capturing her 11th career Grand Slam singles title on Thursday after breezing past Virginia Ruano Pascual in straight sets 6-2, 6-0 at Roland Garros.
Serena struggled in her opening match against Klara Zakopalova but showed no signs of difficulty on Thursday as she needed just 57 minutes to drop Ruano Pascual. Williams collected 23 winners and broke Ruano Pascual’s serve on five of eight opportunities while never having her serve broke.
Williams has achieved a career Grand Slam with four titles at the Australian Open (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009), three titles at the U.S. Open (1999, 2002, 2008), two at Wimbledon (2002, 2003) and a French Open title (2002).
