The Russian kick-started her campaign to win a second Grand Slam this season when making light work of Hungary's Melinda Czink in a 6-2 6-2 win at Flushing Meadows on Monday.
\nThis year's French Open champion only reached the fourth round at Wimbledon and returned to SW19 for the London Olympics weeks later - only to be blown away by Serena Williams in the final.
\nThe number three seed joined the likes of three-time winner Kim Clijsters, defending champion Sam Stosur and top seed Victoria Azarenka in making the second round and said she was confident of returning to the top of her game in Queens.
\n\"It's great to be back on a court where I have so many great memories,\" she said. \"This is the last Grand Slam event of the season. This is where it all happens.\"
