GRAPEVINE, Texas, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Second-seeded Dominika Cibulkova was ousted Wednesday and wild-card Melaine Oudin was eliminated as well at the inaugural Texas Tennis Open.

Oudin fell to Kerber 6-3, 6-2, with Kerber advancing to meet Johanna Larsson.
Larsson eliminated the sixth-seeded Shahar Peer in their match Tuesday.
