　　Taking a look at tennis at the Australian Open;

　　In women's action;

　　Former no. 1 and currently unseeded Victoria Azarenka ousted eighth-seed Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-2 in straight sets.

　　Azarenka is looking to do what current world no. 1 Serena Williams did eight years ago, when she entered the Aussie Open as an unseeded player and won the grand slam.

　　Speaking of Williams, the top-seeded American had to save three set points and win the last 10 games to take a 7-5, 6-0 win against former world no. 2 and two-time Grand Slam finalist Vera Zvonareva.

　　Williams will go on to play Elina Svitolina, who beat Nicole Gibbs 7-6, 7-6.

　　Venus Williams is also through to the third round, with a 6-2, 6-3 win against fellow American Lauren Davis.

　　Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova will face Madison Keys after beating Mona Barthel 6-2, 6-4.

　　No. 6 Agnieszka Radwanska, no. 11 Dominika Cibulkova, no. 19 frenchwoman Alize Cornet and no. 24 Spaniard Garbine Muguruza also made it to round three.

　　In men's tennis action:

　　World no. 1 Novak Djokovic cruised into the third round with a 6-love, 6-1, 6-4 against Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov in 84 minutes of play.

　　Defending champ and fourth-seed Stan Wawrinka, who ended Djokovic's 25-match win streak in Melbourne last year, also made it to the third round with a win over Marius Copil.

　　Japan's Kei Nishikori was in fine form during his win over Ivan Dodig; Nishikori winning that one 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, 7-6.

　　Wimbledon semi-finalist Milos Raonic, Spain's David Ferrer and John Isner are all through, as well.
