Serena Williams is into the Australian Open third round having lost just five games, her most efficient first two rounds of a Grand Slam in five years.
Williams, wearing a Florence Griffith Joyner-inspired outfit and eyeing a record-tying 24th Grand Slam singles title, dispatched 99th-ranked Serbian Nina Stojanoviu0107 6-3, 6-0 on Wednesday.
She next gets Anastasia Potapova, a 19-year-old Russian whom she beat 6-0, 6-3 in the first round of last year’s Australian Open.
