Australian Samantha Stosur defeated Russian sixth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 6-3 in the second round of the $2 million WTA hardcourt tournament on Tuesday. The Aussie will next face either France's Virginie Razzano or Italy's Flavia Pennetta.
 Serbian standout Ana Ivanovic advanced to the second round by rallying to defeat Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
 Ivanovic, the 21-year-old World No 11 still seeking her first WTA title of the year, made seven double faults but outlasted her 47th-ranked rival.
 "My movement, my shots, everything was working well, but I was trying to play a little too safe," Ivanovic said. "She's a good player and she was playing really aggressive and dominant."
 Ivanovic's next opponent will be Czech Lucie Safarova, who defeated Estonia's Kaia Kanepi 6-4, 7-6 (7/3).
 China's Zheng Jie ousted Russia's Elena Vesnina 6-3, 6-2, and could face Kim Cljisters, making a comeback after taking a two-year break to start a family, in a second-round match.
 Israel's Shahar Peer took more than 2 1/2 hours but finally advanced past Romania's Monica Niculescu 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7/4).
