Serena is the only past French Open champion left in the women's draw

Second seed Serena Williams bulldozed her way past Aleksandra Wozniak to reach the French Open quarter-finals.

Wozniak won just one point in the first three games and, although she improved, the Canadian, ranked 24th in the world, never looked like fighting back.

Serena was just too powerful and made the most of Wozniak's poor serving to clinch a speedy 6-1 6-2 victory.

The 2002 champion will play Russian seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova or Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland next.

Former world number one Jelena Jankovic is also in action later on Monday, against Romanian teenager Sorana Cirstea.

And Australia's Samantha Stosur, who knocked out fourth seed Elena Dementieva in the third round, plays France's Virginie Razzano for a place in the last eight.
