Serena Williams booked her quarter-final berth at the German Open on Thursday with her 17th consecutive win but admitted she was just glad not to follow world number one Justine Henin out of the tournament.Williams had few problems in her third round 6-3, 6-1 win over Agnieszka Radwanska, in her 17th straight victory after winning the Miami, Charleston and Bangalore WTA tournaments this year. But she said her number of wins was irrelevant and she was just happy not to suffer the same fate as Henin, who was earlier beaten 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, her second defeat in her last three games.
Williams, who hammered Henin 6-2, 6-0 in Miami at the start of last month, now plays Safina in the last eight, but said world number one Henin is more than capable of bouncing back after her latest setback.
