Maria through to the next round after good performance

Top-seeded Maria Sharapova routed Anastassia Rodionova of Russia 6-3, 6-1. After Rodionova earned her only break of the match at 3-2 in the first set, Sharapova broke twice, losing just three points on her serve in the set.

"She played a pretty good game when she broke me," Sharapova said. "She hit some lucky returns that landed on the line. After that, I stepped it up and returned really well."

Sharapova is commuting from her home near the beach this week.

"It's nice," she said. "I walked the dog in the morning, went to my local gym, had lunch with my family. It's really convenient. I have all my friends watching."
