Hantuchova advances
Slovak second seed Daniela Hantuchova moved into the second round of the WTA Sunfeast Open here on Wednesday with a 6-2, 6-1 win against Poland's Maria Domachowska.
Hantuchova's powerful serve and trademark double-handed backhand gave the Polish qualifier little chance in the one-sided encounter that lasted barely an hour.
Also making it to the second round were England's Anne Keothavong and Maria Koryttseva of Ukraine.
Keothavong defeated Italian Sara Errani 6-4, 6-4 while Koryttseva beat Australian Monique Adamczak 6-3 6-3.
Eighth seed Chan Yung-jan of Taiwan and Tzipora Obziler of Israel progressed to the quarter-finals of this Tier-III event.
Obziler, who upset ninth seed Russian Yaroslava Shvedova on Tuesday, took time to get into the groove before winning 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 against Australian Casey Dellacqua.
Chan made short work of Jarmila Gajdosova from Slovakia, winning 6-1, 6-2.
