On Day 2 at Guangzhou, the seeds went 3-0, along with a qualifier and a wildcard advancing to the second round.
Jie Zheng, seeded third and probably the favorite in China, had no trouble taking out compatriot Sun Tian-Tian, 60 61.
There was more good news for the Chinese crowd, as they saw lucky loser Xu Yi-Fan upset Stephanie Dubois in straight sets, 63 61.
Junior No. 1 Aranxta Rus also had good first round results, beating No. 67 Yanina Wickmayer in a three-setter, 67(2) 62 64.
No. 7 seed Pauline Parmentier battled her way through to beat lucky loser Han Xinyun, 61 75.
Top seed Vera Zvonareva plays her first round match Wednesday against Rodionova, while last week's Bali runner-up Tamira Paszek takes on Korean qualifier Lee Ye-Ra.
