Kutuzova, a 14-year-old wildcard, overcame her nerves and the more experienced Russian Krasnoroutskaya in a contest lasting one hour and 45 minutes.

"I wasn't scared just nervous, but I can play with it," said the runner-up at the 2003 Junior Australian Open.

"It was excited energy. I want to play, I want to kill everybody before the match starts."

Kutuzova trains at the Evert Academy in Florida and showed her familiarity with U.S. hardcourts.
