Simona Halep of Romania ousted defending champion Roberta Vinci from the Barcelona Open on Tuesday, and sixth-seeded Petra Cetkovska also lost in the second round.
Halep broke five times to secure a 6-1, 6-3 victory in just over an hour against the fourth-seeded Vinci, who had also won the outdoor clay tournament in 2009. It was the Italian's second loss in 17 matches here.
"I knew it would be a difficult match but I tried my best and am very happy how it went," Halep said. "The first match back on clay was tough for me this week, but I've improved day by day. I'm feeling great."
