Jessica Pegula ended the hopes of home hope Aleksandra Wozniak in the first round of the Coupe Banque Nationale in Quebec.
Wildcard Wozniak lost the first set 6-3 but squared the match when she won the second set by the same margin.
However, the 29-year-old from Montreal was broken in the second game of the deciding set and her challenge ended there, with America's Pegula wrapping up the set 6-2.
That match took an hour and 54 minutes to complete - but eighth seeded American Samantha Crawford needed more than two hours to see off Belgium's Ysaline Bonaventure, 7-6 6-7 6-4.
The night's final action saw American qualifier Danielle Lao spring a surprise by knocking out third seed Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-4 6-2.
Another American qualifier, Lauren Davis, also went through in straight sets, ousting another Canadian - wildcard Carol Zhao 6-3 6-2.
Elsewhere there were straight-set wins for Russian pair Alla Kudryavtseva and Evgeniya Rodina and American duo Julia Boserup and Catherine Bellis.
Top seed Misaki Doi delighted the home crowd as she booked a place in the second round of the Japan Women's Open in Tokyo with a straight-sets 7-5 6-3 victory over Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus.
However, number two seed Yanina Wickmayer failed to progress when the Belgian was beaten 6-1 7-6 (9/7) by Swiss player Viktorija Golubic.
Johanna Larsson, the fourth-seeded Swede, defeated Germany's Sabine Lisicki 6-3 6-2, while Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic knocked out Antonia Lottner of Germany 6-1 6-4.
Korean Su Jeong Jang recovered from losing the opening set to come through 4-6 6-3 6-3 against China's Saisai Zheng.
