Serena Williams dropped just two games as she beat Sorana Cirstea in straight sets to advance to the French Open fourth round.

Serena Williams is through to the fourth round of the French Open after a routine victory over Sorana Cirstea of Romania.

The number one seed dropped just two games as she came through 6-0 6-2.

In the opening set the contrast between each woman's serve was evident. As Williams powered her way through her service games, Cirstea struggled, giving her opponent a double break advantage with two double-faults.

Williams broke her opponent again with a powerful forehand to win the opening set to love, in just 23 minutes.

The Romanian started the second set a lot better, managing to get into a few more rallies, holding her serve twice and even putting some pressure on the Williams serve.

After missing a couple of break-point opportunities at 2-2, Cirstea lost her own serve to make it 4-2 to Williams.

The American then found her form once again to finish strongly and advance to the next round.
