Hitting 19 winners and snagging two break points, the 26-year-old German made short work of her opponent, with the game ending at 6-3, 6-1. Making it to the quarterfinals two years ago, she definitely has her sights set on getting further this year. She faces America’s Varvarva Lepchenko in the next round.

Ana Ivanovic (EZONE Ai 98) will face off against France’s Caroline Garcia.

Sabine Lisicki (VCORE Tour 97, PTGSPN) will go up against another French competitor, Fiona Ferro. Her VCORE Tour 97 allows for superior offensive play, which is sure to give her an edge on the clay in this year’s Roland Garros.
