Jelena Jankovic is through to the quarter-finals of the Family Circle Cup after a comfortable win over Italy's Mara Santangelo.
The world number nine took just 47 minutes to claim a 6-3 6-0 over Santangelo, losing only six points in the second set.
The Serbian admitted: "I'm now in the top 10 and I'm just a different player. I really don't have to prove anything to anybody, but all I want is just to enjoy my game."
Jankovic will now play Katarina Srebotnik in the last eight, after the Slovakian beat China's Zheng Jie 7-5 7-6.
Elsewhere, Venus Williams cruised though to next round after disposing of China's Chan Yung-jan 6-2 6-1.
Tatiana Golovin, Dinara Safina, Michaella Krajicek and Vera Zvonareva were the other players to make the quarter-finals.
Betfair punters see 2004 champion Williams as the player to beat, with the American the current favourite at 3 in the winner market.
Ninth seed Zvonareva and Golovin can be backed at 5, while Jankovic is trading at 5.1 to lift the trophy.
