Paris

 

The endangered indoor event – this is the final year for its title sponsor – got off to a slow start with just a pair of main draw matches on offer. Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova beat Italian veteran Francesca Schiavone 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 while Czech Klara Zakopalova defeated Caroline Garcia of France 7-6(4), 6-2.

Pattaya City

 

Czech Karolina Pliskova produced the first minor upset of the week as she put out American seventh seed Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-2, 6-4 in a re-run of the Kuala Lumpur final from 2013. Svetlana Kuznetsova passed a personal milestone as she claimed her 500th career victory. The Russian grand slam champion is one of 10 active players with at least 500 pro match wins after she defeated China’s Zhang Shuai 6-0, 7-6(3). Kuznetsova served for the win leading 6-3, 5-3 but needed to play a tiebreak to go through after losing three straight games. Kuznetsova joins Venus and Serena Williams, Tamarine Tanasugarn, Jelena Jankovic, Francesca Schiavone, Nadia Petrova, Flavia Pennetta, Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Sharapova in the 500-win club.

Top seed Sabine Lisicki, the 2-13 finalist, overcame London-based Croatian Donna Vecic 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 and eighth seed Peng Shuai reached the second round 6-1 7-6(1) over Patricia Mayr-Achleitner. Czech Andrea Hlavackova beat Spain’s Estrella Cabeza Candela 6-2 6-4 and American Alison Riske saved nine break points in a whitewash of Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-0, 6-0
