Czink, Craybas win at Bell Challenge

QUEBEC CITY, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Fifth-seeded Hungarian Melinda Czink and American veteran Jill Craybas were among opening-round winners Monday at the women's Bell Challenge.

Czink beat Australian Monique Adamczak 6-3, 7-6 (7-1) and the 35-year-old sixth-seeded Craybas beat fellow American Laura Granville 6-0, 6-1.

Petrova will open defense of her title against American Carly Gullickson, who was a mixed doubles champ at the U.S. Open this past week.
