Ash Barty eased into the third round of the Australian Open with the minimum of fuss on Wednesday, overwhelming Italian qualifier Lucia Bronzetti.
Barty, who followed in the footsteps of trailblazer Evonne Goolagong Cawley by winning the Wimbledon title last year, was rarely troubled at all at the Rod Laver Arena and was not even faced with a break point as she cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 win.
She hammered 11 winners to wrap up the first set in 25 minutes and was equally dominant in the second, sealing it in well under an hour.
