WUHAN, China -- Playing her first match as the No. 1-ranked player in womens tennis, Angelique Kerber dropped the first set before recovering to beat Kristina Mladenovic 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-4 on Tuesday to reach the third round of the Wuhan Open.Kerber replaced Serena Williams atop the rankings with her run to the U.S. Open title, and then took time off before heading to China to start her Asian swing in Wuhan, where she had a bye in the first round.The 28-year-old German didnt face a breakpoint in the second and third sets as she set up a third-round match against two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, who cruised to a 6-3, 6-1 win over Elina Svitolina.Mladenovic was playing very well today, especially in the first set, Kerber said. The first match is always tough. But Im happy to be back in China and to have won my first match here.No. 3-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska won eight of the last nine games in a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Ekaterina Makarova to notch her first win in three trips to the Wuhan tournament.Radwanska has had success elsewhere in Asia over the last two seasons, picking up titles in Shenzhen, Tianjin, Tokyo and at the season-ending WTA championships in Singapore last year.I just hope I can play some more great tennis in China, Radwanska said.In other second-round matches, 8th-seeded Madison Keys had a 6-3, 6-4 win over Caroline Garcia, No. 9 Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Madison Brengle, 6-0, 6-4, Yaroslava Shvedova ousted No. 13 Roberta Vinci 7-5, 6-2 and Barbora Strycova rallied to beat Misaki Doi 5-7, 6-0, 6-2.

The Australian Jockeys Association has welcomed the Racing NSW initiative to introduce paid parental leave for female jockeys as it continues to push for changes to legislation.Female jockeys are not allowed to ride after their first trimester making them ineligible for the federal governments parental leave scheme which requires women to have worked at least 10 of the preceding 13 months before giving birth.With any changes to legislation now unable to be made before next year, Racing NSW announced on Tuesday jockeys would receive eight weeks pay based on their average weekly earnings.The AJA has lobbied several federal governments over the past decade and chief executive Paul Innes says it will keep fighting.We were hoping to get this tthrough the senate before Christmas but that wont happen now, Innes said.dddddddddddd.Ive been to Canberra before but its not high on the priority list.Racing NSW chief executive Peter Vlandys said the administrative body would foot the bill for paid parental leave until the legislation was changed with the amount capped at how much jockeys would would have received in total from the governments scheme..This loophole in the legislation is grossly unfair to female jockeys, Vlandys said.Accordingly, we will pay them until the legislation is rectified.The Racing NSW scheme will continue as long as it is required, ' ' '
