Top seed Kirilenko breezes through; New Zealander ousted on Day 2

The seeds had a mixed day on Day 2 of the Hansol Korea Open, as top seed Maria Kirilenko breezed through but No. 7 Marina Erakovic fell in her debut match.

Kirilenko had a great start to her week, beating Lenka Wienerova, 62 60. But Estonian No. 3 seed Kaia Kanepi was pushed to the limits, unlike the Russian, by Rika Fujiwara, but eventually won, 62 67(5) 60.

The other seeds who played for a second round berth were No. 8 seed Chan Yung-Jan, who won to Mara Santangelo, 16 63 64; No. 4 seed Carla Suarez Navarro, who won to Klara Zakopalova, 61 67(3) 64; and Marina Erakovic, who failed to pass her test against Samantha Stosur, and lost 62 60.

In action between unseeded players, Ekaterina Makarova of Russia made surprisingly light work of Bali runner-up Tamira Paszek 61 62; US veteran Jill Craybas had an even easier time, dishing out a double bagel to Chinese lucky loser Yuan Meng; and Forest Hills champion Lucie Safarova was already in the driver's seat when her opponent, British lucky loser Melanie South, retired due to a left thigh strain with the scoreline at 61 30 for the Czech.
