Task ahead for Dellacqua

Two Australian hopes, Olivia Rogowska and Casey Dellacqua, have tough tasks on their hands on Wednesday.

Andy Morris expects few of the women's seeds to fall on Wednesday at the Australian Open, on a day when most of the matches seem one-sided.

There had been concerns ahead of Caroline Wozniacki's opening round match against Anastasia Rodionova that her left wrist might cause problems. But she came through well and second-round opponent Anna Tatishvili is not expected to keep her on court too long.

Two Australian hopes, Olivia Rogowska and Casey Dellacqua, have tough tasks on their hands on Wednesday.

Rogowska faces China's Lin Na, runner-up here last year, while Dellacqua takes on Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who is looking to go further than two years ago when she made the quarter-finals.

Defending champion Kim Clijsters should have little trouble overcoming Stephanie Foretz Gacon of France, while Francesca Schiavone is likely to dominate her encounter with her Italian compatriot Romina Oprandi.

If there is a top player to fall, it could be 16th seed Peng Shuai. The Chinese player has lost both her previous meetings with Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic.
