Meanwhile, Evie Dominikovic has won through to the second round but fellow Australians Annabel Ellwood and Nicole Pratt were beaten on the opening day of the WTA Tour’s $US170,000 ($A351,000) Bali Challenge.
In the toughest battle on a day of three-setters, Dominikovic took two hours 30 minutes in blistering afternoon heat to overcome Swiss Emmanuelle Gagliardi 1-6 6-3 7-6, fighting back after she had dropped five straight games to concede the opening set.
