Looking for a record 24th Grand Slam singles title, Serena Williams began her campaign at the Australian Open on an emphatic note as she registered a straight-sets victory over Russian teenager Anastasia Potapova in the first round of the competition on Monday, 20 January.

Seeded No.8, Williams hardly broke any sweat as she ousted Potapova 6-0, 6-3 in a match that lasted less than an hour.

The seven-time Australian Open champion needed just 58 minutes to defeat the former junior Wimbledon champion.
