NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — American Melanie Oudin (oo-DAN’) has been upset by lucky loser Dominka Cibulkova (sib-ohl-KOH’-vah) 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in the first round of the Pilot Pen.
Cibulkova was a late replacement in the draw, after Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (pahv-lu-chen-KOH-vah) withdrew Sunday with a hip injury.
In other early matches, Russian Nadia Petrova (NAH’-dee-uh peh-TROH’-vah) rallied after being down one set and 5-2 in the second to beat American Varvara Lepchenko (lehp-CHEN’-koh) 1-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Petrova also was a late addition to the field after an ankle injury forced Ana Ivanovic (ee-VAH’-noh-vich) to withdraw.
