The top seeds in the open singles division of the Washington State Open had little trouble on Wednesday, as all but one of the remaining 15 top men and women won their matches.

Ashley Anderson of Lynnwood was the only seeded player to lose in the second round, dropping her match 7-6, 6-4 to Brittney Reed of Richland.

The No. 1 seed in the women's open bracket, former UW tennis player Denise Dy, rolled to a 6-1, 6-2 win over Nikole Novikova of Issaquah. Dy won the women's open tournament last year.

The men's No. 3 seed, Brian Wilson of Redmond, defeated Zachary Kosanke of Bellevue 6-2, 6-3. Wilson played tennis at the University of Illinois until 2004 and reached a professional ranking of 232nd in the world in 2007.

Matches in the round of 16 begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday at the Seattle Tennis Club. This is the 122nd year of the tournament, which runs through Sunday.
