The remaining 11 second round matches took play on the grass in Birmingham. Four seeds advanced, while the other four seeds - including top seed Marion Bartoli - fell, as the round of 16 was finalized.
No. 1 seed Marion Bartoli was hoping to get back from a first round Roland Garros loss, but on the surface where she was most successful last year, she fell in the second round to Czech Petra Cetkovska, who embarassed the frenchwoman with a 6-0 third set.
Bartoli took the first set, and at 4-4 in the second, she had two point to hold serve 5-4, but she crumbled from there, losing 9 out of eleven last points in the second set, and won just 9 points in the ugly third set. Game set and match Cetkovska, 57 64 60.
