"I tried to follow my plan, as I did in the first set, but that was not enough. I lost some points consecutively. I made some errors. She hit several key winners. I made changes in the third set. I was more aggressive. I felt the match really started in the third set. It was a great performance from both of us."

Spanish No. 14 seed Garbine Muguruza saw off Ekaterina Makarova 6-0, 6-4 in a one-sided affair.

After not managing to pick up a single game in the first set, Makarova improved in the second, breaking Muguruza's serve to prolong the contest. However Muguruza maintained her composure and was able to see off the unseeded Russian.

In the men's draw, a visibly frustrated Sam Querrey lost 6-4, 6-4 to Karen Kachenov. Querrey cut an agitated figure on the court, as the American could not find a way past his Russian opponent. Querrey made seven double faults and could not get his service game to work.

For his part, Kachenov didn't offer Querrey a single break point opportunity in the first set and even though the American showed more fighting spirit in the second, it would turn out to be too little too late.

No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki thundered past Switzerland's Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-3. It was a dominant performance as the Dane won five consecutive games before Bencic broke serve in the second set. That glimmer of hope proved to be a false dawn for the Swiss player, as Wozniacki immediately broke back to stop any momentum Bencic might have started to find.
