Other winners of the day were Melinda Czink, who dismissed 2007 semifinalist Julie Ditty 61 61; and Melanie Oudin, who fought against Olga Puckova, and won in straight sets, 61 76(3).
"When she was down she started going for everything, and she was making them," Oudin told reporters afterwards. "But when she was up in the second set I just tried to keep it tight with her, and she started making some errors again."
