World number two Sharapova, 27, was beaten 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 by 21-year-old fellow Russian Gavrilova.

There were no problems for fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki, who sealed a comfortable 6-0 6-1 win over American Madison Brengle in less than an hour.

In the men's tournament, Canada's Vasek Pospisil beat Juan Martin Del Potro.

Pospisil claimed a 6-4 7-6 (9-7) win over the Argentinian, who was making his return after suffering a wrist injury that had kept him out since January.

Yesterday's play featured British number ones Andy Murray, who faces American Donald Young, and Heather Watson, who plays Germany's Angelique Kerber.
