Kuznetsova advances into second round

Svetlana Kuznetsova has dropped just three games on her way to a comfortable straight-sets victory over Lourdes Dominguez Lino at the Australian Open.

The Russian found 15 winners in the first set, taking it 6-2 in 35 minutes.

Dominguez Lino could only register one game in a lopsided second set, as Kuznetsova broke three times to see out victory with an hour on the board.

The world number 75 - ranked as high as second in 2007 - will face Hsieh Su-Wei of Chinese Taipei in the second round.
