Serena Williams 'excited' by pressure to win Australian Open

Serena Williams says that she is 'excited' by the pressure to win the Australian Open.

World number one Serena Williams has insisted that she is not feeling the pressure at the Australian Open.

The 32-year-old is favourite to take the women's title after easing through her first two rounds - the latest of which resulting in a 6-1 6-2 victory over Vesna Dolonc.

"I was happy just to get that win under my belt and to get through to the next round," the tournament's Twitter page quotes Williams as saying. "For me there's always pressure. I look at it as exciting, I have an opportunity to go well."

The American pro took just over one hour to wrap up her second-round match.
