China off to Flying Start, Williams Sister Through

China's bid for Olympic glory on home turf got onto a great start when three of their players went through their tricky first-round encounters.

China's Li Na overcame Russia's Svetlana Kutsnetsova 7-6 6-3, Wimbledon 2008 semi-finalist, Zheng Jie beat Agnes Szavay of Hungary, 4-6 6-3 7-5, in a marathon 2 hr 50 min match while Peng Shuai defeated Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, 7-5 7-6.

Both William's sisters also went through their first-round encounters with relative ease, as did Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia.
