Serena Williams revealed she is working on a TV comedy script but such was the one-sided nature of her latest routine Wimbledon outing that farce might be more appropriate.

It took the world No.2 just 58 minutes to dispose of the lightweight challenge presented by Australia's Jarmila Groth and her post-match news conference quickly turned to writing, snacking and Maria Sharapova's shock exit.

Williams, who has already dipped her toe into showbiz with walk-on roles, said she is working on a script for TV, drawing on American favourites like Desperate Housewives, Family Guy and Sex and the City.

"You'll be excited to know I wrote three parts already. I call it 'my treatment'," said the American.

"You know what, today's a good day. I can write.

"It's definitely for TV. I don't know how good I would be at writing a movie. Hopefully it will be good.

"It's a mixture of some of my favourite shows, like Desperate Housewives, and Sex and the City, and actually Family Guy. It's kind of those put together in one, if you can imagine."

Italy's Roberta Vinci is the next sacrificial lamb on the agenda for double champion Serena but thoughts of her opponent were far from her mind.

With another comfortable afternoon expected for the 27-year-old, questions turned to her problems with the All England Club's policy of eating in the locker rooms.

Williams was ticked off for snacking by fussy officials.

"I just got confused as to why there are bananas and other stuff that you consume in the locker room, unless they found another way to consume it that I'm not aware of. I don't dare want to find out," she said.

"They told me not to eat. I try to abide by the rules. I'm just confused as to why do you supply something you consume if there's a sign that says, 'No Consuming'."

And Sharapova's defeat to Gisela Dulko?

"I feel for her being injured. I know how hard it is to come back. I think she'll be fine."

Serena also fended questions on the air quality at the Beijing Olympics, Roger Federer's new jacket and the impending departure of the head of the WTA.

Thirty-three questions in all, only two of which were about her demolition of Groth.
