On the first day of the AIG Japan Open, rain messed up the schedule for the main draw, but there was time to complete four qualifying matches, and three main draw matches.
American Vania King was the first to win her qualifying match, to Yurika Sema, 63 62; Stephanie Dubois advanced to the main draw after her win to Jarmila Gajdosova, 76(3) 36 76(2); in an all-Japanese match, Rika Fujiwara dismissed Kurumi Nara in straight sets, 63 62; and Ryodo Fuda was lucky to get to the main draw after her opponent Tiantian Sun retired after winning the first set.
In the main draw action No. 5 Kaia Kanepi had a tough time against Lucie Safarova, 46 63 64; Marta Domachowska won her match to Aiko Nakamura, 64 75; and New Zealander Marina Erakovic failed to win (again), to Ayumi Morita, 61 64.
