Serena Williams refused to let a painful tumble divert her from her quest for a sixth Australian Open title on Tuesday as Jo-Wifried Tsonga progressed to the second round.

Williams picked herself up to complete a resounding 6-0 6-0 victory over Edina Gallovits-Hall, a ruthless dominance that world number one and defending champion Victoria Azarenka was unable to replicate as she progressed to the second round.

Tsonga defeated fellow Frenchman Michael Llodra 6-4 7-5 6-2. Serving for the match, Tsonga hit a backhand drop half-volley at the net, then powered a forehand to the open court on match point to advance to the second round.
