Another seed was dismissed on Day 3 when former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic drubbed No. 21 Chinese Zheng Jie 6-3, 6-0. The currently 40th-ranked Ivanovic, of Serbia, is a former French Open champ.

Twentieth-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova avoided an upset by handling Indian Sania Mirza 6-2, 6-4.

The newest U.S. Open champion will pocket at least $1.7 million.
