The top two seeds --
Venus Williams and Ana Ivanovic -- were shock first-round losers in the WTA
Auckland Classic on Tuesday. Williams, 35, the tournament top seed and
defending champion, was beaten in three sets by 18-year-old Russian Daria
Kasatkina, while Ivanovic went down in straight sets to British qualifier Naomi
Broady.
