US Open - Errani serves up double-bagel to advance
Italy's Sara Errani doled out a rare double-bagel win at the US Open, thrashing Australia's Olivia Rogowska 6-0 6-0 in under an hour.
Errani, the women's fourth seed for the year's final Grand Slam, showed no mercy against her 151st-ranked opponent, who only got into the draw as a lucky loser replacement following the withdrawal of Japan's Ayumi Morita.
Rogowska won just 23 points in the entire match and made a whopping 38 unforced errors before Errani finished her off in just 51 minutes.
Errani, who made the semi-finals at last year's US Open and the French Open final the same season, will play her countrywoman Flavia Pennetta in the second round.
