The two-time major champion Kuznetsova, seeded 11th at this particular fortnight, titled here in Flushing in 2004.

Eighteenth-seeded Aravane Rezai of France advanced with a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (9-7) victory over Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova.

Other seeded winners on Day 2 were No. 22 Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and No. 25 Romanian Alexandra Dulgheru.

Also reaching the round of 64 were Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder, Latvian Anastasija Sevastova, Croat Mirjana Lucic and Swede Sofia Arvidsson.
