British number two Jodie Burrage comfortably advanced to the second round of the Transylvania Open with a straight-sets win over India's Ankita Raina.

On the back of being named in the Great Britain squad for next month's Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against Sweden, the world number 89 took just 62 minutes to succeed 6-0 6-2.

The pair's only previous meeting on the WTA Tour came in the first round of July's Poland Open, where Burrage came from a set down and edged a winner-takes-all tie-breaker to prevail.

However, Monday's meeting was a far more straightforward affair for the 24-year-old, who posted a bagel in the first set, although the 6-0 scoreline did not tell the full story.

Serving for the set in the sixth game, Burrage faced a true test of her mettle as she fell 40-0 down, but she dug deep to save all three break points before Raina lost serve straight away in the second.

Neither player produced a serving masterclass, as there was only one hold between them in the first seven games of the second set, but Burrage earned four breaks to quell any threat of a Raina fightback and advanced on her second match point.

Burrage's reward for her first-round success will be a last-16 meeting with either Leolia Jeanjean or Tamara Korpatsch, who knocked the Briton out of the Ningbo Open last month.
