The fourth-seeded Jankovic went the distance to sneak past Romanian Simona Halep 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia joined Jankovic in the second round with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 decision against 39-year-old Japanese Kimiko Date Krumm. Kuznetsova prevailed in just under two hours on the Grandstand Court..
The two-time major champion Kuznetsova, seeded 11th at this particular fortnight, titled here in Flushing in 2004.
Eighteenth-seeded Aravane Rezai of France advanced with a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (9-7) victory over Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova.
Other seeded winners on Day 2 were No. 22 Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and No. 25 Romanian Alexandra Dulgheru.
Also reaching the round of 64 were Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder, Latvian Anastasija Sevastova, Croat Mirjana Lucic and Swede Sofia Arvidsson.
