EASTBOURNE, England (AP) -- Fifth-seeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia and eighth-se
eded Nathalie Dechy of France overcame blustery conditions Monday to advance to
the second round at Eastbourne, a grass-court warmup for Wimbledon.
Zvonareva beat Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-2, and Australian
Open semifinalist Dechy defeated 221st-ranked Amanda Janes of Britain 6-1, 6-1.
Vaidisova took a 3-1 lead in the first set, but Zvonareva swept the next five
games. In the second set, Zvonareva took a 5-0 lead and closed the match with
her eighth ace.
Also in the field is defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia, who is
seeking her second title of the year after winning in Warsaw. Australia's
Alicia Molik, who returned last week after an ear infection, is seeded third,
and struggling Anastasia Myskina of Russia is seeded fourth.
Top-seeded Amelie Mauresmo helped launch an initiative, ``Aces For Homes,''
to help December's tsunami victims. Beginning with the Eastbourne event, $12
will be donated by WTA Tour sponsor Whirlpool for every ace hit by a tour
player during the next 12 months. A minimum of $120,000 will be raised to
build homes in the Chennai region of India through Habitat For Humanity.
