Former Australian Open finalist Ana Ivanovic has progressed into the second round of Australian Open 2010, knocking out American qualifier Shenay Perry 6-2, 6-3 in front of a packed Margaret Court Arena on Tuesday.

"I was pleased with the way I played. The conditions were very tough. It was very cold and windy and a lot different than Brisbane or what I (have) been used to," Ivanovic said after the match.

"But I just tried to work my way through, just taking time, try to stay composed. I thought I played well and served good."

With the win, Ivanovic, seeded 20th here, now holds a 4-0 head-to-head record against the American. She will meet the winner of the Zuzana Kucova/Gisela Dulko match in the next round.
