Marbella, Spain -- Fourth-seeded Aravane Rezai put together a one-sided victory Monday that vaulted her into the second round of the Andaucia Tennis Experience.

In this tuneup for the French Open, Rezai blasted Ruano Pascual 6-1, 6-1.

Tatjana Malek, Polona Hercog and Estrella Cabeza Candela also won first-round matches Monday. Cabeza Candela saved a match point in defeating Petra Martic 1-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2.

The top three seeds this week are Victoria Azarenka, Flavia Pennetta and Kim Clijsters, who is coming off her win over Venus Williams last weekend in Miami.

Last year's champion Jelena Jankovic is not defending her title.
