Caroline Wozniacki, the number seven seed at the 2013 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, was upset by Carla Suárez Navarro, 7-6(6), 6-1 in opening round action. Wozniacki led 3-0 in the first set and was two points from taking it with Suárez Navarro serving 4-5, 0-30, but the Spaniard hung tough every time and won the opening set.
Also in the opening round, Petra Kvitova, the number five-seed, came out of an early 4-1 deficit to take the first set, then dropped the second set and faced points for a 3-1 deficit in the third before regrouping and making it past Annika Beck, 7-5, 6-7(0), 6-3.
Suárez Navarro advances to the next round to face Yaroslava Shvedova. Suárez Navarro’s win over Wozniacki was her sixth Top 10 win, having previously beaten Venus Williams (2009 Australian Open), Svetlana Kuznetsova (2010 Indian Wells), Sam Stosur (2012 Olympics), Petra Kvitova (2012 Beijing), and most recently, Sara Errani at the 2013 Australian Open.
