Serena powers into quarter-finals

World number one Serena Williams wasted little time in beating Elina Svitolina in their rain-delayed fourth-round match at the French Open.

The American beat Ukraine's Svitolina, coached by four-time Roland Garros champion Justine Henin, 6-1 6-1.

Williams will play Carla Suarez Navarro or Yulia Putintseva in the last eight.

Later on Wednesday in Paris, Novak Djokovic completes his match against Roberto Bautista Agut, before Britain's Andy Murray plays Richard Gasquet.
