Laura Robson begins her new season by breezing past Edina Gallovits-Hall to reach the second round of the Shenzhen Open.

Britain's Laura Robson began her new season with a comfortable 6-2 6-1 victory over Edina Gallovits-Hall in the Shenzhen Open.

The 18-year-old, ranked 54 places higher than her opponent, dominated from the outset, bullying Gallovits-Hall with her powerful groundstrokes.

Romanian Gallovits-Hall, 28, didn't help herself by double-faulting on eight occasions as Robson won through in exactly an hour.

She will meet Gallovits-Hall's compatriot Monica Niculescu in the second round in Shenzhen.
