Marina Erakovic has moved one step further to qualifying for the French Open after easing past her second round opponent in straight sets today.

The New Zealander defeated Japan's Kurumi Nara, ranked 135 in the world, 6-0, 6-0 and is one more win away from reaching the main draw for just the second time.

Erakovic will play qualifying second seed Petra Cetkovska to make the main draw.
