A few more seeded players are through to the third round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
No. 7 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland defeated American Vania King 6-0, 6-3 on Wednesday afternoon at the women’s tennis tournament.
Also moving on is No. 15 Flavia Pennetta. The Italian defeated Russia’s Alisa Kleybanova 6-3, 6-3 in second-round action.
No. 17 Marion Bartoli of France had a much simpler time of it — she advanced to the third round after her opponent, Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan, withdrew from the tournament with a strained left quadriceps muscle.
Date Krumm, 39, defeated Monica Niculescu of Romania in three sets Tuesday.
In an all-Russian match-up, Dinara Safina outlasted No. 18 Nadia Petrova 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 to book her spot in the third round.
There are no Canadians remaining in the field after the final two lost their first-round matches on Tuesday.
Russian Alisa Kleybanova, ranked No. 26 in the world, defeated Heidi El Tabakh of Oakville, Ont., 6-1, 6-2.
Valerie Tetreault of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., had a very quick first appearance at the Rogers Cup. She lost 6-1, 6-0 in 69 minutes to Bartoli.
Fellow Canadians Aleksandra Wozniak and Stephanie Dubois were eliminated Monday on the first day of competition.
