PARIS, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Top seed Victoria Azarenka put on an inspiring performance to reach the third round of the French Open with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany on Wednesday.

The current world number one could not explain why she could play in a way different from last match.
"It was a different game, I didn't really know my opponet, and it toook me first few games to kind of understand what she does and what kind of game she plays to adjust a little bit," she said. "But since after a few games, I started to find my better rhythm. Definitely I plyaed much better today."
"I'm just out there trying to do the best I can. And I think winning form when you're so much down makes a pretty good statement already," she added.
Azarenka reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros last year, matching her best performance at the clay-court Grand Slam.
