On the other hand, the women’s favourites did not fare so well and for many of them the 2nd round became fatal.

The match between Azarenka and Cirstea promised to be an interesting spectacle. This clash was surprisingly even. The Romanian even took the 1st set and put the favourite under pressure.

Azarenka picked herself up, won the 2nd set and this battle was to be decided in the final set. In it, the Belarusian pulled the long end, but only for a while. At 3-1, Cirstea breathed a big change of heart.

The favourite was also eliminated in the American match between Kenin and Brengle. Kenin’s performance was not ideal and she deservedly lost. Brengle scored one of the biggest scalps of her career after winning 6-2, 6-4.
