NEW YORK -- It was almost a perfect day for Serena Williams. She coasted into the US Open quarterfinals with her most impressive performance of the tournament. She surpassed Roger Federer with an all-time record 308th Grand Slam match victory.Even the weather was unexpectedly glorious as she took the Ashe Stadium court.If only the groans hadnt just died down from big sister Venus loss in a dramatic third-set tiebreaker, eliminating any chance of an all-Williams semifinal, Labor Day would have been exactly as drawn up.Instead, Serena would settle for steady progress, another career milestone and a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Yaroslava Shvedova.I just feel like Im going out there doing what I need to do, Serena said. Im not overplaying, Im not underplaying. Im just trying to play my way into this tournament.Of course, few players but Williams can call a 68-minute, straight-set win in which she never faced a break point, had 11 aces, a 93 percent first-serve percentage and ripped 28 winners to Shvedovas 11, playing your way in.Williams also had the fastest serve of the tournament at 126 mph, another apparent sign that her right shoulder is pretty stable, and said afterward that she couldnt believe how consistently she served.I dont think I really served in the summer until I got here to New York, she said. It was a really tough summer for me. Maybe thats the key.However she got here, she is still looking ahead to Grand Slam title No. 23, which would be a new Open-era record, while now looking back at Federers all-time major match victory mark.Its a huge number, Williams said after some prodding. I think its very significant actually. I think its something that just really talks about the length of my career, in particular. Ive been playing for a really long time but also, given that consistency up there, thats something Im really proud of.As she approaches her 35th birthday later this month, she admits that she even amazes herself.I definitely never thought I would be playing still, she said. Now, I dont see when Im going to stop because Im just enjoying these moments out here, getting to break records that I didnt even know existed or I didnt know was possible.As she readies for a quarterfinal berth against No. 5 Simona Halep, her first seeded opponent in the tournament, Williams said she fully expects to get Haleps best.I just think with everyone I play, they play a step up and above their ranking, she said. To me, it doesnt really matter who I play because I have to expect theyre going to play the match of their life. Thats how I go into these matches now.The bad news for Halep, who has lost seven of eight meetings with Williams, is that Serenas comment the other day that I dont feel like Im Serena out there yet took on a more hopeful tone after Monday.Shes coming, Williams promised. She hasnt quite come out yet, though.Almost perfect. Jason Kidd Jersey Large . Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et.
