In the girls’ first round, India’s Shweta Rana overcame the Philiphines’ Anna Clarice Patrimonio 6-4, 7-5 and will meet eighth-seeded Uzbek Sabina Sharipova.
Natasha Palha, who impressed by making the ITF juniors quarters last week, showed she had the potential to get the measure of higher ranked players when she fought her way to beat Anastasya Prenko 7-5, 4-6, 6-1.
Vidya Bharat and Vaniya Dangwal were the other Indians to advance to the second round.
