WIMBLEDON, England -- Serena Williams reached the third round at Wimbledon, routing Anna Chakvetadze 6-0, 6-1.
Playing Thursday on Court 2, Williams won the first 11 games, hit nine aces and lost only four of 32 points on her first serve. She hit 27 winners to six for Chakvetadze and won in only 48 minutes.
The top-ranked Williams is going for her fourth Wimbledon title and second straight.
Two-time Grand Slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova was ousted in the second round by 74th-ranked Anastasia Rodionova of Australia.
Rodionova beat the 19th-seeded Russian 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to reach the third round at the All England Club for the first time.
It was also Rodionova's second victory in 22 career matches against players ranked in the top 20.
Kuznetsova won the 2004 U.S. Open and 2009 French Open. Since the start of this season, she has fallen from third in the rankings to out of the top 10 for the first time in more than four years.
Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova advanced to the third round with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Romania's Ioana Raluca Olaru.
Third-seeded Caroline Wozniacki also reached the third round with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Kai-Chen Chang of Taiwan.
The third-seeded Dane had 14 winners to Chang's 19 on Centre Court on Thursday but Wozniacki hit only 14 unforced errors compared with 25 by her opponent.
Wozniacki reached the quarterfinals at this year's French Open and made the fourth round at Wimbledon last year.
Off the court, Sharapova pursues an interest in fashion, promotes her own perfume brand and has a multitude of endorsements that make her one of the most highly paid athletes.
"I've set up myself pretty well for things that I can do after my tennis career," said Sharapova, who had a 10-month layoff after right shoulder surgery in 2008. "But that never really crossed my mind because I was always gearing up to get back. You know, I've been fortunate to work with different people in different industries that have really made my life interesting and fun and creative."
Against 114th-ranked Olaru, the 2004 champion won 20 of 23 points at the net, breezing through the first set but meeting more resistance in the second. Olaru broke back in the eighth game to even the set but handed the advantage back to the Russian in the following game with a double fault.
"I kind of backed up, let her back in the match," said Sharapova, the only champion in the women's draw other than the Williams sisters. "Fortunately, I was able to get that break back."
Sharapova said she felt "really good" about her condition.
"We're professional athletes. We don't wake up in the morning and say, 'Everything feels perfect,'" Sharapova said. "Maybe when we're very young."
Sharapova, who has won two tournaments this year, will play 24th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova or Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in the next round. Last year, she lost in the second round to Gisela Dulko of Argentina, a defeat that was on her mind Thursday.
"I knew that coming into this match that last year, I was on the plane the next day after I lost," she said. "So, I really thought about it, especially towards the end of the match. I was really excited to get through."
In other matches Thursday, Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Alberta Brianti 6-2, 6-0; No. 10 Flavia Pennetta swept Monica Niculescu 6-1, 6-1; and No. 14 Victoria Azarenka beat Bojana Jovanovski 6-1, 6-4.
No. 23 Zheng Jie lost to Petra Kvitova 6-4, 2-6, 6-2.
