Seeded players Jelena Jankovic and Francesca Schiavone each were eliminated by way of upset Monday on the first day of the Western & Southern Open.

Meanwhile, ex-French Open titlist Schiavone, seeded 14th, fell to wild card and fellow Italian Camila Giorgi 6-1, 6-3 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. Also Monday, 11th-seeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova advanced with a 6-4, 6-4 decision over Uzbekistan qualifier Akgul Amanmuradova.
