Serena Williams vs Angelique Kerber
Head-to-head: Williams leads 3-1
After being tested in each of her first two matches this fortnight, Serena Williams improved to 64-7 here with a routine 63 61 defeat of Coco Vandeweghe on Monday.
That also put the six-time Miami champion into the quarterfinals for the 13th time in her 14 outings here, the lone exception being a fourth round showing in 2000. After coming into Miami on a three match losing streak, Angelique Kerber has made it to the quarterfinals here for the first time. It hasn't been easy, though, as she was extended to three sets in the second round and fourth round.
Her second round triumph over Peng Shuai was especially challenging, as she had to rally from a 5-2 third set deficit. If she is able to beat Williams for the second time, it will be her seventh Top 5 win and her first in seven meetings against a reigning World No.1.
