ALEKSANDRA Wozniak and Vania King advanced to the second round of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, England, on Tuesday, but there was no such luck for Maria Sharapova as her match was postponed due to rain.
Wozniak, the ninth-seeded Canadian, did well to quell the serve-and-volley threat from Australia's Alicia Molik, winning 7-5, 6-1.
King, an American Fed Cup doubles player, put her volleying skills to good use on a soft surface with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Kirsten Flipkens, the former Wimbledon and US Open junior champion from Belgium.
The only other match to be completed saw Japan's Ayumi Morita increase her chances of regaining a top 100 place with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 win over Maria Elena Camerin of Italy.
Sharapova's match with Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States was hit by a four-hour rain delay.
Also postponed was an intriguing match between Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer, winner of the WTA Tour's most improved player award, and Laura Robson, a 16-year-old Briton who has just qualified for a WTA Tour main draw for the first time.
