It's the first match for the Russian, who had a bye in the first round, in nearly three months as she has been recovering from her leg injury inflicted at
the Wimbledon Open, but she had to withdrew for left forearm injury this time
halfway as she was leading 7-6 (1), 6-7 (4) Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Grise Noir Pas Cher , 2-1 against
Barbora Strycova from the Czech Republic.
Another seeded player that sustained early exit is Italy's Sara Errania, seeded 16th, who was eliminated by French player Carolina Garcia by 7-6 (4),
4-6, 2-6 in the first round.
No. 8 seed Karolina Pliskova of Czech Republic beat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni of Croatia 7-6 (4), 5-7 Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Noir Blanche Pas Cher , 7-6 (5) to be the first to advance into third round.
No. 9 seed Ana Ivanovic made short work of Alexandra Dulgheru in her opening match.
Last week, Ivanovic saw the defense of her Tokyo title come to an end at the hands of Dominika Cibulkova. However, the Serb picked herself up to register a
tidy 6-1, 6-3 win over Dulgheru.
"At the beginning of the first set in the first game I was a little nervous, but luckily I wasn't behind for long," Ivanovic said. "As the match went on I
really tried to step it up a little more and I managed to get the break.
"I'm really happy to get the win and be in the second round here."
12 months ago Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Army Verte Pas Cher , Ivanovic retired from her opening match in Wuhan with a thigh injury and she made an
inauspicious start against Dulgheru, following a wild forehand with a double
fault to drop serve in the opening game.
Her response to this setback was emphatic, pinning Dulgheru behind the baselines as she rattled off 13 of the next 15 points. The set soon followed
before Ivanovic took complete control with a break midway through the second.
The Romanian battled gamely until the very end, breaking the former French Open champion as she attempted to serve out the match. However, it was only
delaying the inevitable, Ivanovic swatting away one final overhead to close out
the contest at the second time of asking.
In the second round Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Noir Rouge Pas Cher , she will face Madison Brengle, a player that achieved something Ivanovic failed to do in
either Tokyo or New York, who saw off Cibulkova 6-3, 6-4, while also advancing
in their section of the draw was Sloane Stephens, a 7-6 (4) nike air max 90 fleuri pas cher , 6-3 winner over Alison Riske.
Other seeded players to progress to second round are 15th seeded US Open finalist Roberta Vinci of Italy, who beat Montenegro's qualifier Danka Kovinic
5-7, 6-1, 6-3, and 11th seeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland and also 14th
seeded Madison Keys of America.
Bencic held off Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia 7-5, 7-5 nike air max 90 ultra 2.0 flyknit pas cher , while Keys outlasted Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (4).
MELBOURNE, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists have discovered a pathway key to accelerating weight loss.
The study, published by Melbourne's Monash University on Tuesday, discovered that "rewiring" pathways in the central nervous system significantly increased
the body's fat-burning ability.
The discovery by the team from Monash University marks the end of a seven-year global race to discover how to "flick the switch" in the body to aid
weight loss.
Researchers discovered that keeping mice at eight degrees Celsius for a week activated a process within the central nervous system which caused white
fat nike air max tn pas cher , which stores energy, to turn into brown-like fat which burns energy, previously thought to only exist in babies and small mammals.
Brian Oldfield, a member of the Department of Physiology at Monash University, said they also discovered changes in the "last relay" of nerve cell
connections that travel from the brain cells directly to the transformed "beige"
fat cells.
"It refocuses the spotlight on the coordination of these events in the central nervous system bringing this to center stage and de-emphasises the role
played by peripheral processes happening in the fat," Oldfield said.
"We know that for such events to be properly orchestrated in a way that will help animals and humans react properly to changes in temperature and
diet nike air max 97 silver bullet pas cher , there has to be coordination of that change in the central nervous system."
He said identifying the process was a significant step towards identifying the process that could be changed, mimicked or blocked to turn "bad fat to good
fat."
"The issue is that there is a finite amount of bona fide brown fat in humans - only about 50-70 grams," Oldfield told news Limited on Tuesday.
"The hope is that by inducing brown-like fat you can improve the capacity to burn energy.
"It's a matter of trying to find the gateway to activating those pathways."

ACCRA, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Ghana's performance at the Rio Olympic Games is nothing good to write home about.
The 16 athletes who represented the country failed to grab a single medal at the multi-sport event, bringing to an end another failed attempt by end Ghana's
24-year Olympic medal drought.
The last time Ghana won a medal at the Olympics was at the Barcelona 1992 where the men's football team, the Black Meteors, got bronze, and there had been
three previous Olympic medals in boxing.
In all, Ghana has managed only four Olympic medals in comparison with Kenya, Africa's best performers at the Games, achieving a 86-medal feat.
Ghana's unimpressive performance at the Olympic Games has been blamed on the poor supporting system and investment in sports in general.
Despite the poor performance, there are positives that can be harnessed for future international sports assignments.
For example, Ghana's first female Olympic swimmer, Kaya Forson, competed in the women's 200m freestyle and got eliminated after finishing third in her heat.
