Wozniacki had returned with a bang from a more than three-year layoff on Tuesday, winning 6-2, 6-2 against 115th ranked Kimberly Birrell. But the 33-year-old Danish star found Vondrousova a tougher proposition, with the ninth seed claiming a 6-2, 7-5 victory to set up a last 16 clash with Coco Gauff.

Meanwhile, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek entered the competition with an opening 7-6 (8/6), 6-2 win over Karolina Pliskova.
