Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will meet in the French Open fourth round on Monday, with Williams eyeing her 19th straight win in the lopsided rivalry.
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, swept No. 11 seed Julia Goerges 6-3, 6-4 in the third round on Saturday. Williams is playing her first Grand Slam since winning the 2017 Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant.
About six hours earlier, the two-time French Open winner Sharapova routed No. 6 Karolina Pliskova 6-2, 6-1 in perhaps the most impressive match since her comeback from a 15-month doping ban last year.
