Svetlana Kuznetsova takes just an hour to see off Spanish opponent Lourdes Dominguez Lino and advance to the second round of the Australian Open.

Svetlana Kuznetsova has dropped just three games on her way to a comfortable straight-sets victory over Lourdes Dominguez Lino at the Australian Open.

The Russian found 15 winners in the first set, taking it 6-2 in 35 minutes.

Dominguez Lino could only register one game in a lopsided second set, as Kuznetsova broke three times to see out victory with an hour on the board.

The world number 75 - ranked as high as second in 2007 - will face Hsieh Su-Wei of Chinese Taipei in the second round.
