Serbian Jankovic, ranked 37, had a strong start but Wozniacki quickly took the lead in the middle of the first set before going on to win the match.
Jankovic, also a former world No 1, fought hard after falling four games behind in the second set but couldn't find a way back into the contest.
Elsewhere, Australian player Daria Gavrilova lost to Mladenovic 7-5 6-3.
Gavrilova was visibly upset, and threw her racket onto the ground in frustration during contested games in the second set, which was played in the heat of the afternoon sun.
"I think it was a big fight out there," said Mladenovic.
