By Dave Carroll / Staff reporter, with Reuters and AFP, MELBOURNEThe Chan sisters yesterday cruised into the third round of the women’s doubles at the Australian Open, while fellow Taiwanese Hsieh Su-wei advanced to the second rounds of the women’s and mixed doubles at the first Grand Slam of the year. Seventh seeds Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan took just 62 minutes to see off the challenge of Kaitlyn Christian of the US and Alexa Guarachi of Chile 6-4, 6-2 on Court 15 at Melbourne Park. The Chan sisters won 79 percent of points on their second serve, converted five of seven break points and hit 13 winners. The Taiwanese and Czech are due to face Lauren Davis of the US and Viktorija Golkubic of Switzerland in the second round today. The former world No.1, who last month announced that the Australian Open would be her final tournament, lost 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 to Ons Jabeur of Tunisia.
