Serena Williams began her pursuit of a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title with a dominant 7-5 6-3 win over fellow American Kristie Ahn.

The 38-year-old went a break down in both sets but recovered to win in an hour and a half as she chases Margaret Court's Grand Slam tally.

Williams gathered momentum late on, winning four straight games against the world number 96 in the second set.

Williams says she was really happy with how she fought for every point.
