(Reuters) - Former world number one Venus Williams claimed the 700th win of her career on Tuesday, beating Germany's Julia Goerges 6-4 6-3 in the second round of the Wuhan Open in China.
The 35-year-old American became the ninth woman to chalk up 700 victories since tennis turned professional in 1968 but still has a long way to go to catch all-time leader Martina Navratilova (1,442).
