As the second round was completed and all the top seeds have now been in action, most are still in the tournament. However, for some of the lower seeds, notably Sloane Stephens, the tournament came to an end.
(Rank/Seed)
1/1 Azarenka, the defending titlist shook off an early break and rust to beat Oprandi 62 63.
4/4 Radwanska overcame blustery conditions to beat Rodionova 63 62.
7/6 Errani comfortably beat Babos 64 60; surprisingly easy seeing considering she's been indoors lately.
8/7 Kvitova advanced when (20/-) Makarova retired with sickness after losing the first set 64. Obviously the Fed Cup has tired her and Kirilenko out.
9/8 Stosur edged Niculescu 64 16 63, emulating last year's quarter final win. It is only Stosur's second win out of seven matches!
10/10 Wozniacki saved four set points in the tie break against Cirstea to win 76(7) 60.
Elsewhere, Kuznetsova continued her strong form, beating (11/9) Bartoli 64 64. Urszula Radwanska edged struggling (16/15) Vinci 62 57 60, Zakapolova saved four match points against (17/16) Stephens to win 46 76(5) 76(5) and McHale crushed (18/17) Safarova 64 62, from 1-4 down in the first. However, (12/11) Petrova and (13/13) Ivanovic won.
