Top seed storms on

Justine Henin is comfortably through to the Wimbledon fourth round after another straight-sets victory, this time over Elena Vesnina.

The world number one cruised past her Russian opponent despite an hour's rain break, winning 6-1 6-3.

Henin was not affected by being drawn to play on court two, tagged the 'Graveyard of Champions', and looks like the player to beat going into the last 16.

The Belgian, seeking her first SW19 title, is yet to drop a set at the championship and has lost just 11 games in her opening three matches.

The French Open winner is now trading at 2.64 to lift the trophy next Saturday, with Serena Williams next best at 4.8.

Henin's opponent in the fourth round will be either 15th seed Patty Schynder of Switzerland or 24th seed Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine.

Henin and Schynder have met on eight occasions, with the Belgian winning seven of their head-to-head clashes. The top seed has played Bondarenko once, beating the Ukrainian in Warsaw earlier this year.
