Serena Williams vs. Teliana Pereira: Score and Reaction from 2016 French Open

Top-seeded Serena Williams made quick work of Teliana Pereira in the French Open on Thursday, ousting the Brazilian 6-2, 6-1 in a second-round match.

The American needed just one hour and six minutes to advance to the third round, and she cemented her status as the clear favorite to win it all at Roland Garros.

According to Bet365, the future Hall of Famer has been nothing short of dominant through two matches thus far:

Williams jumped on Pereira in the early going by seizing a 4-0 advantage in the first set. Although the underdog made things interesting by breaking the reigning French Open champion, Serena quickly recovered and closed the set out at 6-2 in 34 minutes.

Serena was in full control, winning 18 of her 21 first-serve points and blasting an impressive 27 winners past the overmatched Pereira.

She was even better in the second, dropping just three points on serve and breaking Pereira on three occasions.

Williams was also helped by 12 unforced errors by the 27-year-old Brazilian en route to a straightforward victory in two sets.

Per TennisNow, Serena made it clear after the match that she is very much engaged and concerned only with the task at hand:

After winning the first three Grand Slams of 2015, Serena has now gone two straight without a title. She appears to be locked in so far at Roland Garros, however, and is in great position to win her fourth career French Open.

The women's draw looks somewhat weak overall with Maria Sharapova not in the tournament and both Victoria Azarenka and Angelique Kerber already eliminated.

Last year's U.S. Open semifinal loss to Roberta Vinci proved that Serena isn't bulletproof regardless of the opponent, but it is tough to pick out many legitimate threats standing between the 34-year-old superstar and her 22nd career Grand Slam title.

Williams has had some struggles in 2016, but winning the Internazionali BNL d'Italia title just prior to the French Open may have been significant in terms of giving her some much-needed confidence.

She has looked like her dominant self through two matches at Roland Garros, and while the competition will get tougher, Serena is unlikely to be stopped unless she beats herself with unforced errors and a lack of focus.
