BAD GASTEIN, Austria, July 19 (UPI) -- Alize Cornet dropped just two games in collecting a first-round win Monday at the Gastein Ladies tennis tournament in Austria.

Cornet was on the court 56 minutes in a 6-2, 6-0 rout of Arantxa Rus. Cornet, who dropped serve in one game, had six service breaks as Rus won only 13 points in seven games on serve.

Halep topped Renata Voracova 7-5, 6-2 behind five breaks of serve.

Mariya Koryttseva outlasted Tatjana Malek 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, losing two points on serve in the third set.

Ioana Raluca Olaru rallied for a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Kathrin Woerle. Olaru won 57 percent of the points after the first set.
