The 1st Premier 5 tournament after the US Open got underway today and all the seeds in action were successful in the 1st round
(Rank/Seed)
10/9 Bartoli beat the hometown favourite Date Krumm 61 64, despite interruption from a drunken fan
11/10 Seoul champion Wozniacki avoided an upset to beat Jovanovski 60 36 64. With the game poised at 3-3 in the 3rd, a brief rain delay allowed Wozniacki to rest and compose herself to win the match
12/11 Ivanovic admitted she still had aspirations of winning more Grand Slams as she beat Hlavackova when the Czech retired with a thigh injury down 63 20
13/12 Cibulkova edged Medina Garrigues 63 76(3)
15/15 Seoul finalist Kanepi beat Espinosa 61 64
16/14 Vinci clawed past Zahlavova Strycova 64 46 75
17/16 Safarova beat Pironkova 64 76(3)
18/17 Petrova took out Peng 61 64
Lastly, from a British perspective, Heather Watson appears to have also been inspired by Murray's and Robson's recent form in taking out number 30, Lisicki 64 76(3)! However, the next one will be tougher; Maria Sharapova :(
