Defending champion Serena Williams racked up her 80th Wimbledon victory Tuesday while Andy Murray raced through before rain brought action at the All England Club to a soggy halt.

    World number one and six-time champion Williams, bidding for a record-equaling 22nd Grand Slam title, battled to a 6-2, 6-4 win over Swiss qualifier Amra Sadikovic, ranked at 148 in the world.    She will face fellow American Christina McHale for a place in the last 32.

    Murray, the 2013 champion, made a flying start to his bid for a second Wimbledon title as the world number two crushed compatriot Liam Broady 6-2, 6-3, 6-4.

    The 29-year-old brushed aside the world number 235 and will next play Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun.
