Victoria Azarenka was back to her top-ranked self at the French Open on Wednesday.
The Australian Open champion from Belarus easily advanced to the third round at Roland Garros by beating Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany 6-1, 6-1 in Court Philippe Chatrier.
In the first round, Azarenka struggled early before winning 12 of the final 14 games to advance. She committed 60 unforced errors in that opening match, but brought that number down to only 11 on Wednesday.
Azarenka reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros last year, matching her best performance at the clay—court Grand Slam.
