Serena Williams showed no signs of a shoulder injury when she entered the second round of the Australian Open with a resounding victory over German Laura Siegemund.
The seven-time champion put on a brightly colored one-legged cat suit at Rod Laver Arena but lost the opening game but set Siegemund aside 6-1 6-1 in less than an hour.
The 39-year-old, who was selected 10th, withdrew from the semifinals of the run-up to the tournament against Ash Barty because he mentioned the injury but did not prevent it in the one-sided case.
The runner-up of her 24th Grand Slam singles title Williams will defeat Serbian world N99 Stinajanic, Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu, in live sets.

“Serena Williams has just unveiled a one-piece jumpsuit,” one tennis lover wrote.
“While all the other pistons wear the same Nike uniform, Serena is custom made,” another added.
‘Love this suit. She is definitely returning to her best physical shape, ‘writes a third.

Others were not so sure of the outfit.
“Good job, they pay her well, it’s horrible,” one Twitter user said.
“It looks crazy uncomfortable, especially in Melbourne’s heat,” another shared.
“It was a great start – vintage ‘Rena,’ Williams said in the post – match interview.
“I think I’m pretty good at picking me up on a big slam.”
The American was eager to get off the track to reach the end of the Super Bowl and see the legendary Tom Brady, the 43-year-old Tampa Bay fullback, in action.
“I’m an American and we love the Super Bowl and Tom Brady is in my age group, so it’s exciting,” she said.
“He’s amazing – to compete … at 43 is unheard of and it’s very inspiring to me at my ripe young age of thirty.”
