Clijsters, Safina reach second round at Australian Open 2010

Belgian star Kim Clijsters breezed through to the second round of Australian Open 2010 on Monday after a straight-sets victory over Canadian qualifier Valerie Tetreault
A large crowd at Rod Laver Arena saw Clijsters dominate her opponent, impressing on her way to a 6-0 6-4 win.

After her win, Clijsters said: "I think [Tetreault] was a little intimidated by the court and the atmosphere...she served a lot better in that second set and she looked little more comfortable.

"I’m going to be watching her throughout this year."

Clijsters will play the winner of Sesil Karatantcheva and Tamarine Tanasugarn in the second round of Australian Open 2010.

Maria Kirilenko stunned Maria Sharapova in the opening round of the 2010 Australian Open, beating her fellow Russian in a three-set marathon 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 6-4 to move into round two and keep her hopes of capturing her first Grand Slam singles title alive.

Kirilenko was aided in large part to Sharapova’s mistakes as the former world’s number one committed 11 double-faults en route to 77 unforced errors. While Sharapova won 70% of her first serves put in play that figure dropped to 40% on second serves as Kirilenko feasted on her miscues. Kirilenko was able to break Sharapova’s serve on five of her 13 opportunities.

Kirilenko has never won a Grand Slam singles title and her best finish came at last year’s Australian Open where she reached the fourth round, losing to Daniela Hantuchová. She reached the third round at the U.S. Open on four occasions while also reaching the third round at the French Open in 2006. Her best finish at Wimbledon has been a second round appearance.

Australian Open 2010 Round 1 Results: Andy Roddick Gets Past Thiemo de Bakker in Straight Sets to Move into Second Round

While Andy Roddick made his way into the second round at the Australian Open the American didn’t exactly use his typical power game to get past Thiemo de Bakker in the opening round. Instead, Roddick used a controlled tempo to dispatch de Bakker in straight sets 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Roddick managed just 7 aces in the match compared to 17 for de Bakker but he limited his unforced errors to just 25 compared to 43 from his opponent. Instead of trying to hammer his serve Roddick concentrated on accuracy and it paid off as he collected wins on 75% of his first serves put in play and didn’t see his serve broken in the match.
