Some struggled and some rose to victory on a mixed day at DFS Classic. The first round came to an end and the second round kicked of on Tuesday at the Tier III grass tournament.
The last 10 first round matches were all on the day's schedule and of three seeds only two came through to the next round. No. 11 seed Casey Dellacqua had just played her best two weeks at Roland Garros, and beat Julie Ditty in her opening round at Birmingham 76(5) 62, and No. 12 seed Kateryna Bondarenko defeated British Anne Keothavong, 63 62. But No. 16 seed Anastasia Rodionova fell quietly to frenchwoman Camille Pin 75 76(2).
The other first round winners were Petra Cetkovska, Marta Domachowska, Virginia Ruano Pascual, Marina Erakovic, Nathalie Dechy, Samantha Stosur and Melinda Czink. Czink, a lucky loser into the draw, was down double set point at 6-5 down in the second set to Vania King but managed to close it out, 62 76(4).
