Serena Williams eases into the second round

Saying that she has nothing to lose and simply enjoys traveling the world doing what she does best, Serena Williams moved into the second round of the Australian Open with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Belinda Bencic, the player who had beaten her in their last meeting at the 2015 Rogers Cup.

Debuting the Nike Spring Premier Power Dress, whose print I read somewhere is inspired by the shades sunrays leave on the court, last year's runner-up Williams opened her bid for a record 23rd Grand Slam singles title with her typical powerful performance in the scorching Melbourne conditions.
