LONDON, (Reuters) – A seething Serena Williams took  out her anger at being exiled from the main showcourts by  pulverising hapless Russian Anna Chakvetadze 6-0 6-1 to reach  the third round of Wimbledon yesterday.

Three-times champion Williams, whose day at the All England  Club began by curtsying to Queen Elizabeth on the players’  terrace, was clearly not amused by Wimbledon organisers’  decision to banish her to the sunken Court 2.

She arrived for her match looking very angry and Chakvetadze  was soon on the receiving end of a barrage of brutal  groundstrokes.

Chakvetadze raised the loudest cheers from the crowd when  she finally ended a losing streak of 11 games but the smile on  her face was soon wiped off as Williams bashed down a winner to  end the Russian’s torment after 49 fleeting minutes.
