Marion Bartoli on top in Bali

Marion Bartoli Top seed Marion Bartoli eased into the final of the Bali tournament of Champions with a 6-1 6-3 triumph over veteran Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan.

The French player reached her fourth final of the season after overcoming a late rally from her 39-year-old opponent, who returned to the tour this year after an absence of more than a decade.

Bartoli bolted through the first set as her consistency overpowered Date Krumm, who was broken in the first game and sent down far too many unforced errors thereafter.

It was a similar story in the second set as Bartoli stormed into a 5-0 lead and appeared on course to wrap up victory within an hour.

However, Date Krumm suddenly found some form as she broke the Bartoli serve and held for 3-5.
