Last year's beaten finalist Li Na made a strong start to her Australian Open campaign with 6-3 6-1 win over Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan.
Li, the 5th seed of the tournament, took a while to find her rhythm on Monday but eventually proved too much for her 21-year-old opponent.
"I was feeling end of the first set really heat on the court. Also I was feeling no air. I couldn't breathe. But so lucky I win so easy in the second set," Li said after the match.
Li will next face Oliva Rogowska or Sofia Arvidsson in the second round.
