A potential surprise was never within reach for Lucia Bronzetti as the 16th seed Tauson never allowed her into the game despite a Danish lapse in concentration at the end of the match to win 6-1, 6-2.
The Dane had also won their only previous meeting on the WTA Tour back in 2022.
In the third round, Tauson is due to face either Magdalena Frech, seeded 21, or the unseeded Ukrainian Yuliia Starodubtseva.
Wednesday's match was dominated by the 22-year-old Dane from the start, even though she had to fend off a break ball in Bronzetti's first service game.
Already in Bronzetti's second service game, Tauson managed to break the Italian's serve, and from then on Tauson never looked back.
Bronzetti could not resist Tauson's much more powerful game as soon as the Dane got the initiative.
At the same time, Tauson put a lot of pressure on the Italian's serve. Every time Bronzetti failed to get her first serve in play, Tauson stepped forward to produce several winners on her returns.
The Italian's discouragement became more and more pronounced as the 26-year-old Bronzetti had no countermeasures to the Danish superiority.
This resulted in several double faults at crucial times, as her body language clearly signaled that she had no faith in turning the game around.
An hour had been played when Tauson lost her first match point at 5-0 in the second set.
A small lapse of concentration from Tauson allowed Bronzetti to get a small lifeline and win two games before Tauson finally secured her ticket to the third round of the tournament.
