It took Rogers just 73 minutes to record the
sweep. Liu won the first game of both sets, but Rogers answered
with six straight wins each time.
Rogers wasn't the only American to come out on top in straight
sets, as Amanda Anisimova ousted Alize Cornet of France 6-3,
6-0. Anisimova will face countrywoman and No. 1 seed Jessica
Pegula in the second round.
A third American, Katie Volynets, also advanced, but Sachia
Vickery, McCartney Kessler and Clervie Ngounoue were unable to,
spoiling a perfect showing by the United States. Other winners
included Australian Daria Saville, Viktoriya Tomova of Bulgaria
and Poland's Magda Linette.
Copa Colsanitas Zurich
Mexican Renata Zarazua put together an absolutely dominating
performance, crushing Mariana Isabel Higuita Barraza of Colombia
6-0, 6-0 in first-round action at Bogota, Colombia.
Zarazua won 17 of 19 first-serve points en route to the
49-minute victory over Higuita Barraza, who was making her WTA
Tour debut at just 16 years old.
Either Colombia's Valentina Mediorreal Arias or eighth-seeded
Russian Kamilla Rakhimova will face Zarazua in the second round.
