Coetzer will play Elena Wagner in the second round, most likely on Thursday. Amanda leads their head-to-head 2-0.
Amanda and Jessica Steck won their first round doubles match against Kristie Boogert and Alexia Dechaume Ballere, 6-3, 7-6. They will meet either Rubin/Washington or De Villiers/Horn in the second round.

Amanda followed up her solid showing at the Australian Open with an excellent performance in Tokyo. She swept past promising Spaniard, Magui Serna in her first match, before coming back from 5-2 down in the third set to defeat Els Callens in the second round. Amanda recovered from that scare by defeating world number one, Lindsay Davenport in the quarter-finals, and then scoring her first ever win over Monica Seles in the semis. Coetzer was stopped by a red-hot Martina Hingis in the finals, but with two wins over top five opponents on indoor carpet, Amanda showed she is well on the way to finding the form that she displayed in 1997.
