Venus Williams dominated her fourth-round match against Maria Sharapova, advancing to the Wimbledon quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-3 win

over the 2004 champion in a two-day match that included a nearly two-hour rain delay Wednesday.

Venus overpowered Sharapova with her serve, and made Sharapova very nervous by smashing returns when Maria had to hit a second serve.

Williams had 19 break points in the match, converting four of them. Sharapova failed to even earn a break point, and only pushed Williams to deuce once on the American's serve.
