Australian Open 2013: Serena Williams bloodied but unbowed after romping to win over Garbiñe Muguruza The injury did not prevent her from romping to a 6-2, 6-0 Australian Open victory over Garbiñe Muguruza, an unseeded Spanish clay-courter. But when Williams came into the interview room afterwards, she pronounced herself baffled by this atypical moment of clumsiness. "I don't know why my racket was even in my face," said Williams, who remains the runaway favourite for the women's title, even with a small piece missing from her front tooth. I mean, it's like I have been playing tennis far too long to hit myself. I'm like, "Come on Serena, pull yourself together here," you know?" Accidents apart, this was another powerful display from the No 3 seed, who was hardly hampered by the ankle she turned in her first-round match on Tuesday. "I felt much better than I ever dreamed of expecting to feel," she said, which will be unwelcome news for those unfortunate enough to find themselves in her quarter of the draw. Elsewhere, Bernard Tomic managed to stave off a powerful challenge from the German qualifier Daniel Brands, and at least keep some Australian interest alive in this tournament. It has been a grim few days for the home nation, but Tomic's third-round match against Roger Federer should at least make for a decent spectacle and a hefty television audience.
