Varvara Lepchenko made an impressive start to her WTA Korea Open challenge with a straight-sets win over Olivia Rogowska.
The fifth seed from America was simply too strong for Rogowska, powering to a 6-1 6-2 victory in 67 minutes at the Olympic Park Tennis Centre.
Seventh seed Caroline Garcia was an early casualty, though, losing 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 to Mona Barthel, with her German rival breaking her three times en route to victory.
Christina McHale brushed aside Lara Arruabarrena 6-2 6-3, while Han Na-Lae will now face Lepchenko after beating Su Jeong-Jang 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-3.
Chanelle Scheepers defeated Irina-Camelia 6-2 3-6 7-5, while Anna-Lena Friedsam accounted for Yaroslava Shvedova 7-6 (7-5) 7-5
