Victoria Azarenka def Elena Vesnina 6-1 6-4....a good and solid start for this tournament....Vika's next opponent on the second round is Annika Beck...
Not Vika´s conditions this year. The slow courts are horrible for her game. Vika will make a real deep run at the French Open, when it is really hot for two weeks and the courts play super fast. I mean the draw is nice enough that she´ll probably go to the quarterfinals, but for a real title challenge it needs to play faster I think.
