Radwanska, Kuznetsova breeze through at Tianjin Open

Beijing (AFP) – Top seeds Agnieszka Radwanska and Svetlana Kuznetsova made short work of their opponents Wednesday to advance at the Tianjin Open.

World number two and top seed Radwanska took just an hour to beat Germany’s Tatjana Maria, ranked 109, winning 71 percent of first serve points.  

Kuznetsova, 31, the second seed, advanced to the third round with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia 

Danka Kovinic of Montenegro lost the first set against American Shelby Rogers. But her opponent only took three more games as Kovinic ran out a 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 winner, notching eight aces and saving seven break points out of 10.
