Serena Williams moves into the third round of Wimbledon with a comfortable straight-sets win over Melinda Czink at SW19.

Four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams has eased into the third round at SW19 with a 6-1 6-4 win over Melinda Czink on Centre Court.

The American was in impressive form, particularly on serve, where she dropped just seven points during the entire contest.

Her superiority was evident in the first set as she stormed to a 6-1 victory in just over half an hour, breaking her Hungarian opponent on two occasions.

The second set was a more even affair as the two players traded serves until the score was level at three games apiece.

However, Williams upped her game to gain full control of the match with a break midway through the second set.

From then on it was a simple task for Williams on her own serve as she strolled into the third round, where she will face 25th seed Zheng Jie.
