TOKYO (AP) - Top-seeded Venus Williams coasted to a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Jill Craybas on Tuesday in the first round of the Japan Open.
Williams needed just 58 minutes on the hardcourt surface at Ariake Colosseum to record a win over her fellow American.
Williams, No. 8 in the WTA rankings, was a late addition to the tournament. She arrived in Japan from Seoul, South Korea, where she won her third title of the season on Sunday with a 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 win over Maria Kirilenko in the Korea Open.
