Serena Williams races into second round of French Open

Serena Williams has booked her place in the second round of the French Open with a quick straight-sets win over Anna Tatishvili.

The world number one was too strong for her Georgian opponent in the opening set, securing it 6-0.

The American made a similar start to the second, racing to a 3-0 lead before Tatishvili won her first game of the match.

However, Williams continued to play well within her comfort zone as she took the next three games to progress to the second round.

Williams will face either Yuliya Beygelzimer or Caroline Garcia in the next round.
