Two seeds stunned in opening matches; two seeds through to next round

Heat was in the air as the first day of Banka Koper Slovenia Open kicked of. Two of four seed were ousted, but the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds made it through to the next round.

Caroline Wozniacki, seeded 3rd, defeated wildcard Andreja Klepac easily in straight sets, 75 60, in her debut match. The 18-year-old has had great results so far throughout the season, being in the fourth round of the Australian Open, and quarterfinals in Doha, Memphis and Eastbourne. She is playing for the first time here in Potoroz.

No. 4 seed Anabel Medina Garrigues was also able to win her debut match, against Russian Ekaterina Makarova, 61 63. Medina Garrigues, with eight titles won in her Tour career, reached the quarterfinals here in 2005, which was her best result, falling to Katarina Srebotnik.

British Katie O'Brien stunned No. 5 seed Tsvetana Pironkova in her opening match in a tight three-setter, 76(6) 46 62. The Brit had her best results in Birmingham, reaching the first round, but in the majority of tournaments she has entered, she mainly loses in the first round. In the second round, she will face Vera Dushevina who beat Virginia Ruano Pascual, 63 63.

Carla Suarez Navarro, seeded 7th, is the second seed out of the tournament, getting defeated by Klara Zakopalova in straight sets, 64 64. The 26-year-old Czech, who reached the quarterfinals in Budapest two weeks ago, was too tough for the Spaniard, who had reached the quarterfinals in Roland Garros. Next, Klara will battle Petra Martic, who also won on Monday to German Angelique Kerber, 75 62.
