Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams cantered past fellow American Lauren Davis in straight sets Thursday to reach the Australian Open third round.
The 34-year-old American, seeded 18, is now on a 7-0 run after winning the lead-up Auckland Classic as she works to reach the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time since Wimbledon in 2011.
Williams, who has long battled illness and injury, breezed past Davis 6-2, 6-3 on a hot Melbourne day and will next meet either Czech Tereza Smitkova or Italy's Camila Giorgi.
