Angelique Kerber into round three of Rogers Cup

Sixth seed Angelique Kerber has seen off Ekaterina Makarova to book her place in round three of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

The German saved a break point in the opening set before claiming it 6-3 with a single break of the Russian's serve.

Kerber was in trouble at the start of the second as a break left her 1-3 down, but she rallied to break back three times and seal the win 6-3.

Italian Roberta Vinci is next up for Kerber following her comprehensive 6-0 6-0 triumph over Ana Ivanovic on Thursday.
