Serena Williams dropped just three games en route to the second round.

But it wasn’t quite as simple as it looks for the top seed who was kept on court for 72 minutes and made to work hard by the talented young Pole Urszula Radwanska.
 
Serena was a little erratic out there making 27 unforced errors and at times it was very much hit or miss tennis but she redeemed herself with 31 winners.

“I was happy to get through,” Serena said. “The scoreline seemed to be easy, but there were tough points. So I was just happy to get it over with. She plays really well. I think her game has definitely come on. I feel like she's more consistent. You know, it's a different score than Wimbledon, but still I think that she's more consistent and a little better ? a lot better.”

Serena played down her injury concern which troubled her in last week’s Sydney final saying that the large strapping on her hamstring is just a precaution.
