United States tennis icon Serena Williams registered her 300th Grand Slam victory as the defending champion defeated Germany's Annika Beck 6-3, 6-0 in the third round of Wimbledon here on Sunday.

Following Sunday's victory, Serena still has six Grand Slam wins to make in order to equalise the record of Czech legend Martina Navratilova, reports Efe.

Serena, 34, is set to play against Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova who eliminated Sloane Stephens of the US.

In case Serena wins Wimbledon this edition, she will equal Steffi Graf's record, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles.
