<p>Williams moved level with Navratilova&#8217;s 306 major tournament victories by easing past fellow American Vania King 6-3 6-3 in the second round at Flushing Meadows.</p>
<p>The world number one has never lost before round three at the US Open and, with Beyonce and Jay-Z watching on in Arthur Ashe Stadium, she was delighted to reach Navratilova&#8217;s mark.<br />
&#8220;Sometimes I don&#8217;t even know that I&#8217;m hitting these milestones,&#8221; Williams said.</p>
<p>&#8220;But some of them I&#8217;m really proud of. Like this one&#8217;s kind of cool, to win 306. That&#8217;s really a cool milestone.</p>
<p>&#8220;Martina was just an incredible legend. For me, one of the best players to ever play tennis.</p>
<p>&#8220;Someone that I never even thought I could be as good as numbers-wise. So, yeah, that&#8217;s what I think of her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Williams is bidding to achieve another milestone in New York, where success would see her overtake Steffi Graf&#8217;s Open-era record 22 grand slam singles titles.</p>
<p>The top seed was not at her blistering best against her King, making 28 unforced errors, but this was her second straight-sets victory and she was in control throughout.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just think it should have been a different scoreline for me. I feel like I made a lot of errors,&#8221; Williams said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just didn&#8217;t have a great day today. But it&#8217;s always good to get a win when you&#8217;re not playing well. I definitely don&#8217;t think I played the way I did in my first round.&#8221;</p>
<p>Williams will now face Sweden&#8217;s Johanna Larsson for a place in the last 16 and the 34-year-old insists her troublesome right shoulder is still holding up.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s stable. I just got to keep it like that,&#8221; Williams said.</p>
