Venus gets demolished by Clijsters after strange score win; younger sister Serena easily through

Kim Clijsters produced a major upset on Sunday in N.Y, as the Belgian ousted No. 3 seed Venus Williams with a strange score, while sister and No. 2 seed Serena Williams easily won her match to advance to the quarterfinals.

Clijsters was in great form, as she moved very well and hit many winners. The final score was 60 06 64.

Serena was in no tough positions against No. 22 seed Daniela Hantuchova, as the defending champion eased through after winning with a score 62 60.

"I traditionally play well in fourth round matches. I want to keep this level, stay focused and play well my next match," Williams said. "I enjoy every moment. I enjoy walking out there and I like to battle. I'm blessed to be in this position, to travel the world, play tennis and do something I love every day."
