NEW YORK -- Canada's Aleksandra Wozniak reached the second round of the U.S. Open with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Romania's Alexandra Cadantu on Monday.
The 48th-ranked Wozniak, a quarter-finalist last week in a Dallas tune-up event, needed little more than an hour to advance after losing four of her last five opening matches at Flushing Meadows.
The native of Blainville, Que., made it to the third round in 2009.
Wozniak will play the winner of a later match between Czech Lucie Safarova and American Melanie Oudin in the second round.
Wozniak swept the first set with ease in less than half an hour against Cadantu, who suffered a 6-0, 6-0 first-round loss to Maria Sharapova at the French Open this year.
The second set was more competitive, with Wozniak recovering from an early breakdown before winning the match on a third match point.
Wozniak fired ten aces and broke Cadantu's serve on five of seven occasions in the victory.
Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., will start his men's campaign against Colombian Santiago Giraldo on Tuesday, while doubles ace Daniel Nestor of Toronto and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus will open against Americans Steve Johnson and Jack Sock.
