Second seed Anastasia Myskina diced with disaster before finally overcoming Hungarian Aniko Kapros 5-7 6-2 6-4.
The French Open champion took a while to settle on court two before finding her range.
Next door on court three Argentine Gisela Dulko once again cut short 47-year-old Martina Navratilova's remarkable renaissance with a 3-6 6-3 6-3 second-round victory over the nine-times former champion.
Dulko beat Navratilova easily in the first round of the French Open last month.
