Robson claims comfortable Charleston win

Laura Robson eased into the second round of the Family Circle Cup in Charleston with a one-sided straight-sets victory over Estrella Cabeza Candela.

Robson, the world number 42 and seeded 16th for this green-clay event, was never seriously challenged by her Spanish opponent as she posted a 6-2 6-2 win in 74 minutes.

The British number two was successful with five of 11 break point chances against the world number 108 and now faces Canadian qualifier Eugenie Bouchard in the next round.

Robson is coming off the back of a strong showing at the Sony Open in Miami, where she reached the final of the women's doubles alongside America's Lisa Raymond.
