LONDON (Reuters) - After the shockwaves that rumbled around Wimbledon on opening night Serena Williams restored a sense of order with a routine win to begin her campaign for a sixth title on Tuesday.

No current athlete in the world of sport can match the 31-year-old for reliability at present and the American, despite a brief blip, eased past Luxembourg's Mandy Minella 6-1 6-3.
