Double Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka reached the second round at Roland Garros on Wednesday while Agnieszka Radwanska set-up a potential clash with little sister Urszula for a place in the last 16.

Azarenka clinched a 6-1 6-4 win over Elena Vesnina – her fifth win in five matches against the experienced Russian – and will next face German 19-year-old Annika Beck, the 2012 junior champion, for a place in the third round.

“It felt good to be on the court after getting cancelled yesterday,” said Azarenka.

“It was a good win as Elena is a really tough opponent.

“I will be back tomorrow to play again but I want to be able to slide better on the clay, especially on the left foot as well as the right. That’s my goal this year.”

Polish fourth seed Radwanksa, who has never got beyond the fourth round, eased past Mallory Burdette of the United States 6-3 6-2.

She could next face sister Urszula for a place in the last 16 if the younger sibling, who put out Venus Williams in her opener, beats German qualifier Dinah Pfizenmaier.

Spanish men’s fourth seed David Ferrer, a semi-finalist in 2012, made the third round, beating compatriot Albert Montanes, 6-2 6-1 6-3.
