Joining her at the exit was American Venus Williams, a runner-up in Madrid in 2010. World number four Elina Svitolina and former world number one Karolina Pliskova, however, eased to victories. Svitolina is aiming to win her third title of the year but the 23-year-old has never progressed past the second round in Madrid.
