Fifth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska breezed past Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-1, 6-2 in the opening round of the Bank of the West Classic on Monday.

Dominika Cibulkova won through to the last 16 with a 6-2, 7-6 (7) win over Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm.

The Slovak was making her first appearance on tour since reaching the quarterfinals in Wimbledon. She has not lost more than two matches in a row all season.

American Christina McHale beat Croatia's Mirjana Lucic 6-1, 6-0 and will next meet Cibulkova.

Canadian Rebecca Marino topped American Coco Vandeweghe 6-4, 6-4 in another match. She'll play Bartoli in the second round.
