Venus Williams, the five time champion at the All England Club, won her opening match at Wimbledon 2011 on Monday as the American is off and running at SW19.
Williams raced through her first round match over Akgul Amanmuradova 6-3, 6-1 to book a spot in the second round.
Williams looked very impressive on her serve as she had seven aces in the match and just one double fault. Williams will next face Kimiko Date-Krumm as the 40 year old dispatched, in less than an hour, a player about 16 years younger than her in Kate O'Brien.
Date-Krumm has been to the semifinals of Wimbledon before however that was fifteen years ago and the age difference between herself and Williams, besides the difference in talent, should be enough to see Williams through to the third round.
Other early women's results saw Elena Vesnina advance to the second round along with Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer.
