Australia’s Daria Gavrilova was one of several seeds to suffer on a day of upsets at the Ladies Open Lausanne on Wednesday.

Russia’s Natalia Vikhlyantseva proved too strong as she beat the No.7 seed Gavrilova 6-3 6-2.

Second seed Caroline Garcia also crashed out in straight sets, beaten 6-2 6-4 by Bernarda Pera.

Alize Cornet, however, had no such problems as she eased to a 6-1 6-1 win over Jasmine Paolini.

Lucky loser Xinyun Han also advanced to the third round as she beat Liudmila Samsonova 7-5 6-4.

Gavrilova’s defeat means Samantha Stosur is the last remaining Australian in the draw.
