American Melanie Oudin defeated Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak, the 2008 champion, 6-7 (6-8), 7-5, 6-3.

Other first-round winners included Maria Kirilenko, Olga Savchuk and Christina McHale, who ousted Mirjana Lucic, Jill Craybas and Kai-Chen Chang, respectively.

This week's top seeds, both of whom received opening-round byes, are French Open runner-up Samantha Stosur and Russian star Elena Dementieva, who has been sidelined by a calf injury since retiring from her semifinal match against Francesca Schiavone at the French Open early last month.
