I was surprised by the ease in which Venus beat Mona. However in the next second round she faces world number two Victoria Azarenka and that will be a lot tougher.
Laura Robson lost in straight sets to Ayumi Morita. I think Laura is now going through a mini slump, hopefully she will get out of this mini slump soon.
The young Canadian Eugenie Bouchard beat Monica Puig in straight set. Eugenie is already top thirty so a good run in this tournament could see climb further up the rankings.
