Australian Open 2011 Tennis Results, Day 3: Caroline Wozniacki Wins; Injured Venus Williams Rallies

Scores and highlights from Day 3 of the Aussie Open 2011. Here’s what went down Down Under in the women’s draw:
• No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki def. Vania King, 6-1 6-0.
Down goes another American with the poor luck to draw Wozniacki. Next up for No. 1: No. 29 Dominika Cibulkova.
• No. 4 Venus Williams def. Sandra Zahlavova, 6-7 (8-6) 6-0 6-4.
It took a third-set rally, but Williams The Elder overcame both a mid-match injury and her own clothing to advance to the third round, where she’s paired with No. 30 Andrea Petkovic.
• No. 6 Francesca Schiavone def. Rebecca Marino, 6-3 5-7 9-7.
Schiavone needed one of yesterday’s longest three-set matches to dispatch the 104th-ranked Canadian. Her third-round opponent will be Romania’s Monica Niculescu.
• No. 8 Victoria Azarenka def. Andrea Hlavackova, 6-4 6-4.
Some close calls but no real danger for Azarenka. She’ll face the excellently-named Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa next.
• No. 9 Li Na def. Evgeniya Rodina, 6-3 6-2.
Li’s on quite the roll since upsetting Kim Klijsters in Sydney last week. She should make short work of the Czech Republic’s Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in Round 3.
• No. 11 Justine Henin def. Elena Baltacha, 6-1 6-3.
No surprises here, but a good clean match, with few unforced errors by either player. Henin’s degree of difficulty is about to tick up, however, with No. 23 Svetlana Kuznetsova waiting in Round 3.
• No. 14 Maria Sharapova def. Virginie Razzano, 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.
If there were stalkers in the audience with increasingly uncomfortable signage, they weren’t shown on television, and they didn’t affect Sharapova’s play. She’s got another unseeded opponent next in Germany’s Julia Goerges.
• Vesna Manasieva def. No. 15 Marion Bartoli, 3-6 6-3 6-0.
We have our first major Day-3 upset on the women’s side, as Bartoli handled the first set well but failed to capitalize on her lead. Manasieva moves on to Latvia’s equally syllabic Anastasija Sevastova.
• Jula Goerges def. No. 20 Kaia Kanepi, 6-4 6
The second upset of Day 3 saw promising sleeper pick Kanepi end her bid to reach the quarters in three straight Grand Slam tournaments. Next up for Goerges in the third round is a bit of a tougher nut to crack: Maria Sharapova.
