Marion Bartoli was the major casualty on the second day of the Warsaw Open yesterday.
The French fourth seed succumbed to a first-round defeat at the hands of Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic. Bartoli made a strong start under grey skies in the Polish capital but her unseeded opponent fought back to seal a 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 triumph.
Eighth seed Melanie Oudin of the USA also slumped to an early exit as she was swept aside 0-6, 2-6 by Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova.
