Kerber will face Su-Wei Hsieh or Polish 26th seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the fourth round.
In the men's draw, Tomas Berdych did it easy over crowd favourite Juan Martin del Potro, cruising into the last 16 with a straight sets win.
The Czech 19th seed proved too good for del Potro in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 win.
More to come.
