Serena Williams swatted aside Canada's Eugenie Bouchard in straight sets to continue her quest for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
The American 16th seed made a rapid start on her way to a 6-2 6-2 victory over the 2014 Wimbledon finalist.
Not everything went the 37-year-old's way, but she demonstrated why she is considered the tournament favourite.
Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska, ranked 57th, awaits her in the third round.
