Second seed Maria Sharapova cruised into the second round of the Australian Open on Monday in Melbourne.

The reigning French Open champion scored the easiest possible win, crushing fellow Russian Olga Puchkova 6-0 6-0.

Last year’s runner-up allowed Puchkova just 23 points as she ripped through the match in 55 minutes.

Sharapova meets the winner of the round-two clash between Japan’s Misaki Doi and Croatian Petra Martic.
