British number one Elena Baltacha is safely through to the second round of the Pattaya Open in Thailand after a 6-2 6-3 victory over Nicha Lertpitaksinchai.
Baltacha had little time to prepare for the tournament, having represented Britain in the Fed Cup in Israel on Saturday, but she comfortably saw off Thailand's world number 426.
In the second round, the 27-year-old Scot will face sixth seed Peng Shuai, who defeated Chan Yung-jan in straight sets.
