German sixth seed Tatjana Maria wrapped up a 6-4, 6-2 win in the first round over Turkey’s Zeynep Sonmez on a rain-interrupted day in Mexico.

A rain delay concluded early Tuesday evening, which allowed Canadian Marina Stakusic to complete a 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 win over Russia’s Polina Kudermetova.

However, fifth-seeded Magda Linette of Poland retired from her match after dropping the first set 6-0 against Colombia’s Emiliana Arango. Linette appeared to be struggling with her left leg.
