Serena Williams charged into the third round of the French Open with a 6-1 6-1 pummelling of Germany's Julia Goerges.
The 2002 champion, whose match was cancelled by rain on Thursday, was simply too strong for the world number 77 on a sunsoaked Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Serena, wearing a sky blue dress to match the much improved Paris weather, concluded a 55-minute stroll in the park when Goerges sprayed a backhand wide.
She will next face 29th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the fourth round after the Russian beat American Jill Craybas 6-4 6-1.
Belgium's Justine Henin made a brief cameo appearance on Centre Court to complete a 6-3 6-3 win over Czech Klara Zakopalova in the second round.
The match was interrupted by dusk and rain on Thursday with the four-times champion holding a 3-2 advantage in the second set and the Belgian started confidently, breaking her opponent's serve to open a 4-2 lead.
She was broken back but won the last two games to prevail on her fourth match point with a forehand winner down the line after one hour and 15 minutes.
The 22nd-seeded Henin, back from 20 months in retirement, will next face either Russian 12th seed Maria Sharapova or compatriot Kirsten Flipkens.
