The Williams sisters both cruised into the second round of the tennis singles on Monday, while Indian hope Sania Mirza was forced to retire hurt.
Number four seed Serena, the eight-time Grand Slam champion and a doubles gold medallist from Sydney in 2000 with sister Venus, but who was making her debut in Olympic singles after missing Athens with a knee injury, beat Olga Govortsova of Belarus 6-3, 6-1.
Her seventh-seeded sister Venus, with five Wimbledon titles among her seven Grand Slam crowns, weathered a spirited display from Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky before prevailing 6-3, 6-2.
