As the day was packed with matches, four of all matches were uncompleted due to a rain delay at the Olympic Tennis Event.
Francesca Schiavone and Samantha Stosur, who are competing in their second Olympics, both won their matches in straight sets. Schiavone, of Italy, easily defeated Akgul Amanmuradova from Uzbekistan, 64 62; and Stosur also easily defeated her opponent, Sara Errani, 63 62.
Schiavone will next face either Chan Yung-Jan or No. 8 seed Agnieszka Radwanska; and Stosur will next face either Olga Govortsova or No. 4 seed Serena Williams.
Dane Caroline Wozniacki also won her first round match, to Tunusia's Selima Sfar, 64 61. Last week, Wozniacki was the first woman from Denmark to win a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Singles title in Stockholm, Sweden.
Wozniacki could have a tough opponent in the next round, as she will face either Ai Sugiyama or No. 10 seed Daniela Hantuchova.
The rest of the first round matches will be played on Monday, as well as the matches that were delayed by rain.
