British number one Johanna Konta made swift progress into the second round of the Australian Open with victory over American Madison Brengle.
Konta, seeded ninth, won 6-3 6-1 on Hisense Arena, the third show court at Melbourne Park.
The Briton had lost three of their four previous matches but was far too strong for the world number 90 this time.
Konta, 26, goes on to face American Bernarda Pera, the world number 123, in round two.
"I'm very happy with that match," said Konta.
"I knew it was going to be tough, she gets a lot of balls back and makes her opponent work for it.
"I'm very pleased I stuck to the style of play I wanted. I'm really happy to be back and excited to come back on Thursday."
