The 26-year-old Ukrainian upset seventh-seeded Janice Tjen of Indonesia 6-4, 6-3 in the second round on Tuesday.

However, since winning her first-round match at Nottingham, England, in June, Starodubtseva had fallen in the opening round of five consecutive tournaments before beating Austria’s Lilli Tagger to open the Monterrey event.
