As the second round wraps up, the top players who have thus far been in action were successful having received first round byes.
(Rank/Seed)
3/1 Azarenka returned to the court for the first time since her horrific injury in the first round of Wimbledon that forced her later withdrawal. She looked fresh here though, never dropping serve against Schiavone to maintain her unbeaten record on hard courts this year with a 62 63 win. It was also her 24th birthday.
4/2 Radwanska got over last weeks loss to the top Slovak by beating the second highest ranked Slovak, edging experienced Hantuchova 63 63 for the third time here.
7/3 Kvitova, last year's US Open series winner picked up where she left off, serving well in thrashing Robson 61 62 to avenge her loss to the Brit at the Australian Open.
Elsewhere at Washington DC, (9/1) Kerber is already through to the quarter finals with straight sets wins over Americans Falconi (62 63) and Oudin (75 60).
