OSAKA, Japan, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Second-seeded Samantha Stosur had little trouble gaining a spot in the second round of the WTA's HP Open in Japan with a win Monday.
Stosur didn't face a break point in rolling past Johanna Larsson 6-4, 6-2. Stosur lost only 12 points in nine games serving. She was particularly successful in the second set, dropping three points despite being good on less than half of her first serves.
