MELBOURNE, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- No. 2-ranked Svetlana Kuznetsova topped a series of highly seeded players collecting straight-set wins Tuesday in the first round of Australian Open.
Kuznetsova swept past Nathalie Dechy 6-3, 6-1 in one of the most lop-sided women's matches of the second day of the year's first Grand Slam event.
