why is Wozniacki not being bumped to the #2 seed and its corresponding place in the draw?

Because Kivitova withdrew after the oop was released but before the start of play so the next eligible player to be seeded(Lisciki) took the open spot.

a) Prior to the 1st Match of the Event
If a seed withdraws from the Main Draw or Qualifying after
the release of the schedule of play, the day preceding the
start of the event (singles or doubles), up until the commencement
of the first match of the event involved:
(i) The next eligible seed takes the open spot, and
(ii) A Qualifier/Lucky Loser (or an Alternate Wild Card if
the withdrawal was from a Wild Card) takes the spot
created by her move. source: wta rulebook p 69 http://www.wtatennis.com/page/TourRu...,12781,00.html
