Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka won 12 straight games to finish off the opening match on center court at the Australian Open in 67 minutes Monday with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Heather Watson of Britain.
Azarenka, one of six women who can finish atop the rankings depending on results at Melbourne Park, is coming off a win at the Sydney International last week and is high on confidence.
The Sydney champion has gone on to reach the Australian Open final six times since 1997, winning twice. Li Na won in Sydney last year but lost the Australian Open final to Kim Clijsters.
