Zheng Jie ousts Bartoli from Australian Open

France's Marion Bartoli was ousted in the third round of the Australian Open 6-3, 6-3 by China's Zheng Jie, a former semifinalist at Melbourne Park.

Zheng jumped out to a quick start on Saturday, breaking the ninth-seeded Bartoli twice to take a 4-0 lead in the first set. She dominated Bartoli on the ground, hitting 28 winners to just seven for the Frenchwoman.

Bartoli, a former runner-up at Wimbledon, hasn't advanced past the third round at Melbourne since 2009.

Zheng and countrywoman Li Na reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in 2010 - the first time any Chinese player had gone that far in a slam. Zheng has lost in the second round of six majors since then. Li won the French Open last year.
