NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) -Top-seeded Marion Bartoli and Aravane Rezai had straight-set victories on Saturday to line up an all-French final at the Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions.

Bartoli beat Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm, 6-1, 6-3 in an 85-minute match. 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, the 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.
