Yvonne Meusburger no match for Victoria Azarenka

Defending champion Victoria Azarenka has booked her place in round four of the 2014 Australian Open by beating Austrian Yvonne Meusburger 6-1 6-0.

Azarenka, who has yet to drop a set in Melbourne this year, will now face Sloane Stephens following the American's 7-5 6-4 victory over Elina Svitolina.

It took the second seed an hour to see off Meusburger, who failed to hold serve during the entire match and won just five points in the second set.

The match saw Azarenka produce 20 winners, 13 unforced errors and win 14 of 17 points at the net.
