After two rounds in the Australian Open, Li Na is already proving that she is a serious title contender.
The fifth seed of the tournament took a swift 62-minute match to dismiss local hopeful Olivia Rogowska at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday.
Li, the reigning French Open champion, who made a brilliant run to the finals at Melbourne last year, appeared in fine touch. She landed nearly 80 percent of her serves and overwhelmed her 20-year-old opponent with raw power from the baseline.
"This year there's more fans come to watch me play, the fans aren't just from China, they're from all over the world," Li said after the match.
Li will next face Anabel Medina Garrigues in the third round after the Spaniard ousted Olga Govortsova of Belarus 6-1 6-0.
