"She played aggressively and went for her shots trying to do best for the fans. But I tried to take control of the match and I'm happy that I closed her out, said Williams who next takes on Camille Pin from France in the quarter-finals.
"I did all my best but she proved why she used to be the world No 1 and won Grand Slam titles. She served so well and I couldn't return at all," said Tammarine.
