NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) Top-seeded Marion Bartoli and compatriot Aravane Rezai scored straight-set victories on Saturday to line up an all-French final at the $600,000 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions. Bartoli outclassed Japanese Kimiko Date-Krumm, 6-1, 6-3 in an 85-minute opening contest.
Date-Krumm, who was seeded 12th, had reached the semifinals after Yanina Wickmayer withdrew because of a one-year doping suspension. In the second match, 10th-seeded Rezai defeated sixth-seeded Martinez Sanchez 6-2, 6-3 in only 64 minutes to advance to Sunday's final.
The tournament features the top 10 women who won a WTA Tour event this season but didn't qualify for last week's WTA championships in Doha, along with two wild cards.
