The scores are 0 and 1 for Serena Williams, but the match was nothing but easy for the defending champ. She had to work hard every point to win the match against Anna Chakvetadze, which she did.
A former Top 10 player, Chakvetadze had to battled hard to win the one game in the second set and it brought the crowds some brief excitement. The Russian smiled herself with the game point when she won.
Another Russian who saw the exit door earlier was Svetlana Kuznetsova. The 19th seed crashed out in the hands of fellow Russian Anastasia Rodionova.
Kuznetsova lost, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Another early exit for the Russian at the slam this year.
