Two days after blasting her first-round performance as "junior tennis" when she needed nine match points and three sets to end the challenge of Czech Klara Zakopalova, Williams turned on the style to demolish her opponent in 57 minutes.
The 10-times grand slam champion and second seed needed two match points to secure victory after the world number 133 pulled out a beautiful passing shot that even Williams watched in admiration on the first.
The American sealed the match when her powerful crosscourt backhand could only be smacked wide by her opponent. Williams will face another Spaniard, Maria Jose Martinez-Sanchez, in the next round.
