 Vera Zvonareva dispatched qualifier Anastasia Gasanova 6-3, 6-1. 

Zvonareva repeatedly stymied Gasanova with superb anticipation and clutch serves, and after saving three break points to hold for 3-3 in the first set took firm control of the contest.

If you're trying to go for too much, it's likely [you'll] make an unforced error. I was trying to make her move around the court as much as I could and then take any opportunity on the shorter balls."
