Johanna Konta made a strong start at the Italian Open with a straight-set win over Kazakhstan's Yulina Putintseva in Rome.
The British number one, who turns 26 on Wednesday, won 6-4 6-0 to claim her second clay-court victory of the year.
Konta had a bye in the first round as the fifth seed and will face American Venus Williams or Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko in round three.
Fellow Britons Andy Murray and Aljaz Bedene are in action later on Tuesday.
Top seed Murray takes on Italian Fabio Fognini in the evening session at 20:00 BST, after Bedene faces second seed Novak Djokovic at around 15:00.
