Kimiko Date-Krumm, the oldest player in the women's draw at age 41, opened the BNP Paribas Open with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Pauline Parmentier of France on Wednesday as a swirling, gusting wind made life difficult in the first round at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Mona Barthel of Germany had a 6-1, 6-2 win over 37-year-old American Jill Craybas to set up a second-round match with top-ranked Victoria Azarenka, who won the season's first major at the Australian Open.
Azarenka had a first-round bye, along with defending champion Caroline Wozniacki, who lost her No. 1 ranking at Melbourne Park in January, and the other seeded players.
