Result: Venus Williams cruises past Vesna Dolonts

Venus Williams secures a second round place in the US Open after a convincing victory over Vesna Dolonts.

Venus Williams has secured her place in the second round after victory over Russian Vesna Dolonts.

The American came through the match by winning two straight sets 6-4 6-3 in the Arthur Ashes Stadium.

Despite the convincing win, the 31-year-old started the match slow after being broken by her opponent in the fifth game of the first set.

The former US Open champion resumed form and broke the 22-year-old before serving her way to triumph.

Williams is likely to go up against Wimbledon semi-finalist Sabine Lisicki in the second round at Flushing Meadows.
