MELBOURNE - Top seed Caroline Wozniacki and seven-time Grand Slam winner Justine Henin both powered into the third round of the Australian Open Wednesday, losing a total of five games between them.

Dane Wozniacki, still seeking a first title at a major to validate her new WTA number one ranking, crushed American Vania King, a Grand Slam doubles finalist, 6-1, 6-0.

Belgian Henin, who once stood atop the rankings before retiring at the height of her powers but returning to tennis a year ago, was untouchable as she put out Brit Elena Baltacha 6-1, 6-3

Wozniacki went through in 58 minutes, winning 55 total points to just 25 for King. Henin fired seven aces over Baltacha, breaking four times.
