Petra Kvitova has said that she has found it easier to handle the defence of her Wimbledon title the second time around.
The Czech player won her first SW19 title in 2011, but was knocked out in straight sets in the quarter-final the following year.
The world number two, who spent less than 90 minutes on court to progress through the first two rounds, told reporters: "I'm very pleased how is everything going so far. I can't really say surprised. I think I'm kind of handling it better than 2012 when I was defending my first title.
"I'm nervous before each match when I'm going to play here, especially first round. But it was there today [as well]. Every match I'm going to play is great. I'm trying to really enjoy it. Of course, playing here on the grass which really suits my game. I really love to play here. It's very nice feeling."
Kvitova has reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the last five years.
