By Matt Cronin TORONTO (Reuters) - Top seed Serena Williams avenged her older sister's defeat by Kirsten Flipkens with a 6-0 6-3 pounding of the Belgian to move into the quarter-finals of the Rogers Cup on Thursday.

Flipkens put down Venus Williams in three sets in the first round as Serena watched from the stands, but the 13th seed struggled for rhythm in the face of the 31-year-old's monster serve and fierce returning.
