Serena Williams has made a ruthless start to her quest for an historic 24th grand slam crown, storming into the Australian Open second round.
Returning to Rod Laver Arena for the first time since beating older sister Venus while pregnant in the 2017 final, Williams crushed German Tatjana Maria 6‑0, 6‑2 in 49 minutes today.
Williams will hit the court again on Thursday as she continues her chase for an eighth Open crown, which would draw the American level with Margaret Court with 24 major singles titles.
