Result: Serena Williams in easy first round win

Serena Williams manages a comfortable, straight sets victory in the first round of the US Open.

Serena Williams sailed through the first round at Flushing Meadows last night, defeating her opponent Bojana Jovanovski in under an hour.

The 29-year-old, who is the favourite to win the tournament despite being seeded 29th, beat the 19-year-old Serbian 6-1 6-1.

Earlier in the day, number one seed Caroline Wozniacki advanced to the second round after a 6-3 6-1 triumph over Nuria Llagostera Vives.

Williams will next face Michaella Krajicek, while Wozniacki is set for an encounter with Holland's Arantxa Rus.
