Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Five-time champion Serena Williams reached the fourth round at Wimbledon after recording her 600th career win on Saturday night. The world No. 1 Williams had little trouble in a 6-2, 6-0 drubbing of Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm. "On Centre Court, what better place to win my 600th match?" said Williams, who became the 15th player in WTA history to reach the milestone. Williams fired eight aces and claimed 8-of-9 points at the net while extending her career-best winning streak to 34 matches. The 42-year-old Date-Krumm, who made her Wimbledon debut in 1989, is the oldest woman in the Open Era to have reached the third round at the All England Club. Next up for Williams will be Sabine Lisicki. The 23rd-seeded German knocked off former U.S. Open champ Samantha Stosur with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 decision. Lisicki reached the 2011 Wimbledon semifinals and was twice a quarterfinalist. Polands Agnieszka Radwanska and Chinas Li Na also won three-set matches. Radwanska, the fourth seed and last years runner-up, battled past American Madison Keys, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, while the sixth-seeded Li came back from a set down to earn a 4-6, 6-0, 8-6 triumph over Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic. Radwanskas next opponent will be Bulgarias Tsvetana Pironkova, a 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 winner over Croatias Petra Martic. Pironkovas only Grand Slam success has come at the famed lawns of the London suburb. Shes never been past the second round at the Australian Open or French Open and has had one run to the fourth round in seven tries at the U.S. Open. However, she was a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2010 and a quarterfinalist in 2011. Li will meet Italian 11th seed Roberta Vinci in the fourth round on Monday. The 2011 French Open champ from China is into the second week at Wimbledon for just the third time in seven visits, with quarterfinal appearances in 2006 and 2010 her best results. Vinci advanced Saturday with a 6-1, 6-4 rout of Slovakias Dominika Cibulkova. Also Saturday, British crowd favorite Laura Robson rallied from a set and a break down to beat New Zealands Marina Erakovic. The 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 win lifted Robson into a fourth-round match against Estonias Kaia Kanepi, a 6-2, 6-3 winner over American Alison Riske. "I just tried to put the pressure on her serve, and she made a couple of double faults, which helped me," said Robson about coming back against Erakovic. "I knew that that was my chance to get in her head a little bit, and thats what I did." Petra Kvitova and Sloane Stephens were among the early winners Saturday in matches that were halted Friday due to darkness. Kvitova, the 2011 champ and this years eighth seed, trailed in the third set of her match against Russian Ekaterina Makarova on Friday, but the Czech star dominated when play resumed. She dropped just one game Saturday and advanced with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 triumph. "I didnt have a good nights sleep," mused Kvitova. "The match was still in my mind, what was good and bad. Today was another day for me. I played aggressively and that was the key." Next up for Kvitova will be Spains Carla Suarez Navarro, who completed her third-round win Friday against Canadas Eugenie Bouchard. Stephens also had her match halted by darkness Friday after splitting the first two sets with Petra Cetkovska, but the 17th-seeded American managed to pull out a 7-6 (7-3), 0-6, 6-4 victory. Just 20 years old, Stephens has now reached at least the fourth round of each Grand Slam this year. She was a surprise semifinalist at the Australian Open after beating Williams in the quarters and lost to Maria Sharapova in the French Open fourth round. Monica Puig will be the fourth round opponent for Stephens on Monday. The Puerto Rico native upset fifth-seeded Sara Errani in the first round and completed her first week at the All England Club with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Eva Birnerova of the Czech Republic in another match stopped Friday by darkness.

Match factsAugust 21, 2016 Start time 2.30pm local (0900GMT)Big PictureIf ODIs and Tests occurred in parallel universes, Australia might be the pre-series favourites. They have been generally good in this format this year, defeating India 4-1 at home, and winning four out of seven completed matches in the Caribbean to claim that tri-series - though there was a series loss in New Zealand. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have been uniformly terrible - their top order has been unsteady and a toothless attack has gummed its way around the planet. In the field, Sri Lanka have sometimes seemed more interested with dating the ball than collecting it; theyve approached it tentatively, caressed it lovingly towards the boundary, then escorted it gallantly to the rope.But Tests and ODIs are played in the selfsame universe, so the business of picking a favourite becomes more difficult. On the one hand, some of Australias batsmen have been so traumatised in the Tests, they are likely to struggle with spin in ODIs as well. Yet, on the other hand, it is Rangana Herath who had them breaking out in cold sweats in the dressing room, and they will not have to face him in the shorter formats.Where Sri Lanka may have a minor edge is in the confidence of a dynamic top order. Every batsman in the likely top seven has a broad range of strokes, and the batting has rarely been weak in home one-day series. But the bowling is short of experience. Seekkuge Prasanna, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep, Dilruwan Perera, Lakshan Sandakan and Amila Aponso have played fewer than 100 ODIs between them.Australia will also know that while Sri Lanka cannot field their best player of the Test series, their own spearhead is now moving in to what has so far been his preferred format. Mitchell Starc has taken 98 wickets at 19.79 in ODIs. He is capable of defining this series.Form guide(last five completed matches, most recent first)Australia: WWLWLSri Lanka: LLLTWIn the spotlightWhen Tillakaratne Dilshan last played limited-overs cricket for Sri Lanka, he was the warhorse dragging a meek top order forward. He now enters a side that has experienced significant regeneration, and has a sense of fresh excitement about it. Less than three months out from his 40th birthday, Dilshan may now wish to impress on the selectors that he remains integral to this side. That is - if he himself wishes to continue for some time.Steven Smith appears to have taken the series whitewwash harder than most, admitting that he finished the Test series with many regrets, and with dismissals playing over and over in his mind.dddddddddddd But Heraths absence in the ODIs might benefit him most of all - he had been out to Herath five times in the Tests. Rarely does a tour go by without a major contribution from Smith, and his one-day form in the Caribbean was excellent. He hit a tournament-high 264 runs at an average of 52.80.Teams newsSri Lanka will probably push Dhananjaya de Silva into the lower middle order to round out their top seven. But on the even of the match, Angelo Mathews admitted the attack was proving a selection headache. One of either Amila Aponso or Lakshan Sandakan may get a debut however.Sri Lanka(possible): 1. Kusal Perera, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Dhananjaya de Silva, 7 Milinda Siriwardana, 8 Dilruwan Perera, 9 Amila Aponso/Lakshan Sandakan, 10 Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan PradeepThere is a little uncertainty in the top of the order, given there are four openers in the squad. With the Khettarama track expected to take turn, two spinners may play, with Josh Hazlewood perhaps sitting out.Australia(possible): 1 David Warner, 2 Aaron Finch, 3 Shaun Marsh/Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 George Bailey, 6 Matthew Wade (wk), 7 James Faulkner, 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Nathan Coulter-Nile, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Adam ZampaPitch and conditionsMathews said the pitch looked quite dry again, and it almost always turns at Khettarama - particularly in the second innings of a match. There is a chance of showers, around dusk.Stats and triviaIf Mitchell Starc gets two wickets in the first ODI, he will be the fastest bowler ever to 100 wickets. He has played 51 matches so far. Saqlain Mushtaq - the current record-holder - achieved the milestone in 53 games.Of the 22 completed ODIs between these two teams, in Sri Lanka, the hosts have won 13 matches and lost nine.QuotesTo win a series against a number one team - especially against Australia - meant a lot to us. The confidence levels turned around after that Pallekele match. The confidence levels are pretty high now and we hope to continue that in the one-day format as well.Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews on the good vibes flowing from the Test series whitewash ' ' '
