Serena Williams is used to A-listers attending her tennis matches, and her US Open Round of 16 victory over Kaia Kanepi on Sunday was no different.

Williams toppled Kanepi by two sets to one and booked her place in Tuesday's quarterfinal against Karolína Plíšková.

She is now three wins away from a seventh US Open championship title - and cheering her on during every shot were her husband Alexis Ohanian and his guest Samantha Barry, the new editor-in-chief of renowned Condé Nast women's magazine Glamour.

Ohanian and Barry watched in the crowd as Williams blasted past Kanepi, winning the first set in just 18 minutes and converting all three break points, without dropping a single point on her serve. Kanepi managed to restore parity in the second set, but it was business as usual in the third set as Williams romped to a 97-minute win.

Barry posted two photos courtside and said the event was "inspiring." She also hashtagged one of the photographs "tennis tutu" - a nod to Williams' headline-grabbing outfits.

Ohanian and Barry can be seen in the crowd right here:

Barry grabbed a post-match selfie and video with Ohanian, thanking the Reddit co-founder for the "last minute invite."

There are only eight athletes left in the women's US Open singles event.

Williams and Plíšková, a 2016 US Open finalist, fight for the right to move into the final four in Tuesday's encounter at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York.
