Serena Williams continues to make history! On Sunday, she officially snagged the most Grand Slam match victories for any man or woman in the Open era.

The 34-year-old tennis star collected Grand Slam win No. 308, after defeating Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova in the fourth round of the U.S. Open.

Sunday’s win moves Serena past Switzerland’s Roger Federer, who previously held the title with 307 major match victories.

She’ll now head to the quarterfinals. If she wins the New York tournament, she will surpass Chris Evert for the most U.S. Open titles and Steffi Graf for the most championships since the introduction of the Open era in 1968, when the Grand Slam tournaments agreed to permit professional players to compete with amateurs.

It's official: No one in history — man or woman — has more career Grand Slam singles wins than Serena.
