The 36-year-old American barely broke sweat in
a one-sided first set but was tested by the world number 135 in
the second without ever looking troubled.
While the Centre Court crowd clearly appreciated the sight of
Williams in full flow, they also took a shine to the plucky
Tomova who battled hard to make a match of it.
Even ultimate warrior Williams applauded a couple of her
opponent's winners late in the second set before completing
victory in 66 minutes.
"It was better than my first round and I'm happy that I'm going
in the right direction," Williams, who took her winning streak
at Wimbledon to 16 matches, said.
"I just hope every match is better."
While the 25th seed was pleased with her progress since her 7-5
6-3 first-round win over Arantxa Rus, she still has a lot of
things on her 'to do list' before her next test against France's
Kristina Mladenovic.
"There's so many things that I want to improve on, but that's
kind of how I always feel. Still want to work on getting my
first serves in more," added the American who is looking to draw
level with Margaret Court's record haul of 24 majors.
"I don't like to be satiated with a great result. I want to
continue and do more. For me, that's just who I am."
