Serbia's Jelena Jankovic at full stretch for her first round victory 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 over Romanian Monica Niculescu. The 23-year-old, a semi-finalist last year, took 92 minutes to see off her 86th-ranked opponent.
The third seed is one of the more fancied players in the draw since the retirement of Justine Henin. The rich red clay slows games and so favours those with stamina and long back of court baseline return games in the Nadal mode.
