Acapulco

 

Australian Open finalist Dominika Cibulkova fulfilled her top seeding after a few rough showings since Melbourne, with the Slovak beating Poland Urszula Radwanska 6-3, 6-4 in the first round. “My serve was not 100% today, but I’m pretty happy with the way I played because Urszula is a tricky player and is always hard to play,” said the winner. Cibulkova had lost four straight matches dating to the Melbourne final. “I’m happy to win finally after Australia, I’m really happy to get back on track. That’s why I came here, to win a couple of matches.”

She was joined by 20-year-old birthday girl Eugenie Bouchard of Canada, who thrashed Shahar Peer 6-2, 6-2. Canada’s Sharon Fichman earned a minor upset of fifth seeded Austrian Yvonne Meusburger 6-1, 6-3. Aleksandra Wozniak joined in for Canada with her defeat of Australian Ashleigh Barty 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-2.

 

Third seed Kaia Kanepi moved past Jana Cepelova 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 and eighth seed Zhang Shuai beat American Madison Keys – now the highest-ranked teenager on the WTA after Bouchard left her teen years behind – 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Victoria Duval beat Iveta Melzer 6-2, 6-4 and Yanina Wickmayer dispatched Lesia Tsurenko of the Ukraine 7-6(4), 6-4
