World No 1 Serena Williams set a record of 61 Australian Open wins on Friday as she scorched into the fourth round - and warned she plans to get even better.
The American top seed used her powerful serve to good effect as she raced past experienced Slovak Daniela Hantuchova 6-3, 6-3 in 80 minutes.
Bidding for a sixth Australian Open crown, Williams now faces either former world No 1 Ana Ivanovic or 2011 US Open champion Samantha Stosur for a place in the quarterfinals.
