Kim Clijsters began preparation for the defense of her Australian Open singles title with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Romania's Simona Halep in the first round of the Brisbane International on Sunday.
Clijsters beat China's Li Na in the final at last year's opening Grand Slam at Melbourne Park. This year's Australian Open begins Jan. 16.
In another match Sunday, 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy advanced to the second round when her opponent, Ksenia Pervak of Russia, had to retire with a headache at 4-4 in the opening set.
Top-seeded Samantha Stosur plays her first-round match Monday, as is Serena Williams, who Stosur defeated in last year's U.S. Open final.
