Eugenie Bouchard eases to win against Kiki Bertens

Eugenie Bouchard is through to the third round of the Australian Open, after easing to victory against Dutch player Kiki Bertens.

The seventh seed, who was a Wimbledon finalist last year, had no real problems as she raced to a 6-0 6-3 victory.

The Canadian was in rampant form in the opening set as she dispatched her opponent in just over 20 minutes after displaying some fine attacking tennis.

Bertens initially looked like she was going to pose a greater threat in the second set as she won her opening service game, but Bouchard soon took control and closed out a comfortable victory, despite a late rally by the Dutch player.

The 20-year-old will play unseeded French player Caroline Garcia in round three.
