Third seed Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth-seeded Li Na were a pair of second-round winners on a rainy Wednesday at the U.S. Open.
Last year's Wimbledon runner-up Radwanska, of Poland, got past Spaniard Maria- Teresa Torro-Flor 6-0, 7-5 at Armstrong Stadium, while this year's Australian Open runner-up and the former French Open champion Li, of China, handled Swede Sofia Arvidsson 6-2, 6-2 at Ashe Stadium on a wet day at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Radwanska will meet Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Friday.
Li was happy to beat the rain on Day 3.

"It's tough for them," she said, referring to all the players who still had singles matches to complete. "For me, just relax all day and do whatever I want."
World No. 1 Serena Williams had her second-rounder against Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva postponed until Thursday.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion Serena is a four-time U.S. Open champ and two-time runner-up. She beat Victoria Azarenka in last year's final in Flushing and is also the reigning French Open champ.
