Former Australian Open finalist Jennifer Brady marked her return to the WTA Tour after a two-year absence with a straight-set victory at the DC Open.
The 28-year-old American was sidelined by knee and foot injuries, falling from world number 16 to 1,056th during her recovery time.
Back in action in Washington, Brady emphatically beat the 28th-ranked Anhelina Kalinina of Ukraine 6-2 6-1.
She will next face seventh seed Madison Keys, who is also her doubles partner.
"I'm pretty happy with the way I came out, handled my emotions, stayed true to my game plan and I was able to come out with a win," Brady said.
