EASTBOURNE: Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber eased into round three of the Eastbourne International as Kiki Bertens, Johanna Konta, Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep also reached the last 16 on Tuesday .
The veteran Australian had seen off American Sofia Kenin in round one, but had no answer to Kerber's power as the German fired 15 winners in a 6-4, 6-4 victory."That's why I'm here. I like to play here on grass, so I try to enjoy every match and every moment right now."Bertens was also in commanding form as the number three seed saw off Yulia Putintseva 6-4, 6-1.
Sixth seed Halep began her grass court campaign in style with a 6-2, 6-0 thrashing of Su-Wei Hsieh and will be confident of further progress when she faces Slovakian qualifier Polona Hercog next.
