Australian Open

 

It was a patchy performance for three-time champion Victoria Azarenka as she began the quest for another Melbourne title. The tournament number two, led seeds to winning starts as she beat Swede Johanna Larsson 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 in the sweltering summer temperatures. “It felt pretty hot, like you’re dancing in a frying pan or something like that,” said Azarenka, winner of the last three editions.

Polish fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska beat Yulia Putintseva 6-0, 5-7, 6-2 while eighth seed Jelena Jankovic started with a defat of Japan’s Misaki Doi 6-1, 6-2. Romanian 11th seed Simona Halep hammered Pole Katarzyna Piter 6-0, 6-1 while compatriot Simona Halep (11th) dispatched Katarzyna Piter with the loss of just one game

2013 semi-finalist Sloane Stephens, seeded 13th, beat Yaroslava Shvedova 7-6(1), 6-3 and No. 16 Carla Suarez Navarro advanced past Vania King 6-3, 6-2.

There we also wins for Dominika Cibulkova, who knocked out former Roland Garrso winner Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-4; France’s Alize Cornet needed only minimal effort, 1-0, retired over Polona Hercog. There were also wins for American Christina McHale, former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, Varvara Lepchenko of the US, Swiss Stefanie Voegele and New Zealand’s Marina Erakovic.
