After the US Open ended last week, the Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic kicked off on Monday (badly), with six local players (three wildcards and three unseeded players) being ousted on the first day in Bali, Indonesia.
The first loca
l to fall was 22-year-old Sandy Gumulya, to top seed Francesca Schiavone in straight sets, 62 60. Schiavone was the runner-up her in 2005, and she is probably the favorite.
