Day Three: Radwanska continues her run of form

Begu had a medical time out for a shoulder concern at the end of the set but continued play in Melbourne.

Radwanska, a three-time Australian Open quarter-finalist, meant business in the second set, jumping to a 2-0 lead. Begu kept fighting, though, and got the break back to level  stay in it at three-all.

Just as she had done all match, Radwanska responded when challenged. She won the next three games to take the set 6-3 in 40 minutes, sealing victory with a volley.

Radwanska will play British No. 1 Heather Watson in the third round on Friday (18th January).
