Agnieszka Radwanska needed just an hour to reach the Wimbledon second round with victory over Kateryna Kozlova.
The 27-year-old third seed from Poland beat Ukrainian Kozlova 6-2 6-1 under the Centre Court roof despite being broken once in the first set.
The 2012 runner-up now faces Italy’s Karin Knapp or Croatia’s Ana Konjuh.
“Of course. a one-hour match is always good. I’m just very happy with that win,” world number three Radwanska told BBC Sport.
It was the first meeting between Radwanska and 22-year-old Kozlova, who was making her main-draw debut at SW19.
The match was played under the roof with rain suspending play on all other courts.
“It’s just like an indoor tournament,” Radwanska said. “We have to get used to it. It’s good that we could play today.”
