Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova strolled into the Australian Open second round with a straight sets win over Magdelena Rybarikova of Slovakia on Monday
The Czech eighth seed struggled with her serve early in the match before finding her rhythm for a 6-3, 6-2 victory.
The 28-year-old has been in strong form leading into the season-opening Grand Slam, winning last week's Sydney International and will next play Irina-Camelia Begu.
Her best result at Melbourne Park is a run to the semi-finals in 2012.
