Ana Ivanovic, the defending champion, overcame the challenge of Akgul Amanmuradova 7-6 6-2, while fourth seed Jelena Jankovic also claimed her place in the next round with a 7-5 6-0 win over Peng Shuai.
Elsewhere, Bulgaria's Victoria Azarenka caused a major upset as she defeated sixth seed Anna Chakvetadze 1-6 7-6 (7-1) 6-4.

So glad Henin is back into tennis action again. And of course, she had no problems winning against Chan. I'll be interested to see how the match with Safina goes on Thursday.
