Marketa Vondrousova claimed the first set against Elina Svitolina with a lone break and then handed out a bagel in the second. Karolina Pliskova also won a 6-0 set while beating Elise Mertens.
Simona Halep only took 49 minutes to take down an injury-hampered Yulia Putintseva, who had to retire early in the second set. On the other hand, Garbine Muguruza prevailed in a break-laden matchup against Victoria Azarenka.
