The Serbian, who lost to Justine Henin in last year's final at Roland Garros, was not at her best on the Philippe Chatrier court but advanced with a 6-2 7-5 victory.

The 20-year-old will next play the Czech Republic's Lucie Safarova, who beat Sandra Kloesel 6-1 6-1.

Elsewhere, Nicole Vaidisova became the first seed to fall in the women's draw after losing 7-6 (7/2) 6-1 to fellow Czech Iveta Benesova.

Vaidisova, seeded 15th, came to Paris on a five-match losing streak and could not arrest her slide on Court One.

Meanwhile, James Blake and David Nalbandian made short work of their first-round opponents as they eased to straight-sets victories.

Seventh seed Blake, from the United States, was a comfortable 6-4 6-1 7-6 (7/3) winner over Germany's Rainer Schuettler on Court One.

Blake will play either Ernest Gulbis or Simon Greul next as he embarks on a bid to progress past the third round in Paris for the first time.

Nalbandian, the sixth seed, also showed no mercy as he swept past fellow Argentinian Carlos Berlocq 6-2 6-4 6-1 on the Suzanne Lenglen court.

Nalbandian, twice a semi-finalist here, needed less than two hours to complete the win and set up a second-round clash against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, who beat Frederico Gil in three sets.
