Great Britain's Johanna Konta and Heather Watson cruise into the second round of the women's doubles at the Rio Olympics with victory over Serbia.

Great Britain's Johanna Konta and Heather Watson have cruised through to the second round of the women's doubles at the Rio Olympics.

The duo took just over an hour to see off Serbia's Jelena Jankovic and Aleksandra Krunic 6-2 6-1 to get their Games off to a flying start.

The Brits began shakily as they lost the opening game of the contest, but from then on there was only one team in it as Konta and Watson won six of the next seven games to take the first set.

Watson had progressed into the second round of the women's singles just hours before, but that did not affect Team GB's performance and they soon gained control of the second set too.

Jankovic and Krunic saved one break point on their way to winning their first service game, but that would prove to be their last triumph of the contest as Britain reeled off five games in a row to pick up the win.
