All but one seeds in action go through on Day 1 in Bali

Groups A, B, C and D all had one match in them, as three out of four seeds playing won their matches in tough scores on Day 1 in Bali.

Group A's top seed Marion Bartoli fought to win to Magdalena Rybarikova with a score of 64 64.

Group B's No. 2 seed Samantha Stosur went to three sets against Agnes Szavay but was still able to close it out with a score of 62 36 61.

Group C's No. 3 seed Yanina Wickmayer beat wildcard Kimiko Date Krumm with a score of 76(5) 63, but the Japanese player didn't exit without a fight.

"Until 3-0 (in the second set) she was playing really aggressively," said Wickmayer, who emerged with a 76(5) 63 win. "She can take the ball really early. I think she's one of the fittest players on tour right now, and if she keeps playing for the next couple of years she'll do really well."

Group D's No. 4 seed Sabine Lisicki was the only seed to lose her match, as the German went down to Aravane Rezai with a score of 16 63 64.
