Former world No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo and Virginie Razzano gave France a 2-0 lead with victories in the singles matches on the opening day of their Fed Cup by Paribas World Group Playoff at Ariake Colosseum on Saturday afternoon.
Mauresmo overpowered teenager Ayumi Morita 6-0 ,6-2 in the first match, while Razzano downed Ai Sugiyam 6-1, 7-5 in the second.
Displaying an overpowering forehand and wicked backhand, Mauresmo finished off Morita in just over one hour. “I played well today,” Mauresmo said. “I felt comfortable on the court. I think she was a little tight out there.”
