CARLSBAD, United States: Daniela Hantuchova roared into the second round of the WTA Southern California Open yesterday with a 6-0, 6-0 thrashing of Austrian Tamira Paszek in the first round.
Slovakia’s Hantuchova, who needed just 47 minutes to dispatch Paszek, set up a second-round clash with second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, and also warmed up for her marquee doubles match today with former world number one Martina Hingis.
Swiss great Hingis will be playing her first WTA match since 2007 when she and Hantuchova play first-round doubles against Julia Goerges of Germany and Darija Jurak of Croatia. AFP
