After an hour and 50-minute rain delay in the second set, the No. 2-seeded Williams wrapped up a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Chanda Rubin to reach the quarterfinals. Older sister Venus, ranked No. 1 and the two-time defending champion, pounded Lisa Raymond 6-1, 6-2. They are now tow victories each from the third all-Williams Grand Slam final in ten months.
