Top-seeded Martina Hingis coasted into the second round of the Korea Open on Wednesday with 6-3, 6-2 win over Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki. Hingis, a former world No. 1, won six straight games and took little over an hour to beat 16-year-old Wozniacki, who won this year's Wimbledon junior title.
Meanwhile, Indian star Sania Mirza overcame a poor first set to crush South Korea's Lee Ye-ra 3-6, 6-0, 6-0. She will now take on Hingis in the second round on Thursday. The two had recently met in the semis of the Kolkata WTA event where Hingis was a runaway winner. "It was stressful to get here from India," said Hingis, who won the Sunfeast Open title on Sunday. "I was able to step up my game even though I was tired."
In the second round, fifth-seeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia downed Finland's Emma Laine 6-4, 6-0 and Japan's Akiko Morigami beat Aiko Nakamura 7-5, 6-2.
