Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki storms into the Australian Open third round on Wednesday, with a confidence-boosting win over Sweden’s Johanna Larsson. The third-seeded Dane snuffed out a late rally from the world number 77 to win 6-1, 6-3 and continue her bid to become the first woman to defend the Australian Open title since 2013. Wozniacki moved freely, showing no sign of rheumatoid arthritis that has threatened to halt her lawn tennis career, with the win potentially setting up a glamourous third round clash with Maria Sharapova, the Russian who plays later today.
