Date-Krumm made a go of it in the second set, fighting back from 0-2 down to make it 3-3, but a fifth double fault in the seventh game and two further unforced errors later in the set gave victory to the 10th-ranked Bartoli.
Tenth seed and 2010 winner Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, who enjoyed her first title of the season at the Korea Open on Sunday, joined Bartoli in the next round by beating Bojana Jovanovski of Serbia 6-0, 3-6, 6-4.
