Sharapova: The grass is quite different from the practice courts
Bacsinszky, Sharapova's second round's rival, has two top 10 wins under her belt, winning three Wimbledon qualifying matches and her first-round match in straight sets.
After opening the match with a hold, Sharapova broke Bacsinszky at love, one of three breaks she converted during a comfortable first set win. The second set was more of the same, with Sharapova breaking to go up 3-1 and not losing another game in her 6-2, 6-1 victory.
Sharapova, who now has 40 Wimbledon match wins to her name, has surrendered just four games through two matches.
"The first couple of matches are really crucial in terms of working on so many things as a grass court player and trying to make that transition from clay as quickly as possible," Sharapova said.
"The grass is quite different from the practice courts. Once you get out there, you try to focus a little bit more on executing better and not letting your focus go. That has been important in the last couple of matches."
