'''Day 1''' <br> In the first match of the tournament, Nadia Petrova upset second-seed and wildcard [[Peng Shuai]]. Petrova lost her serve on four occasions but managed to break her Chinese opponent seven times to win in straight sets, 6–4, 6–3. Defending champion [[Ana Ivanovic]] soon followed suit, upsetting fourth-seeded veteran [[Roberta Vinci]], also in straight sets 6–3, 6–3, to set up a meeting with Petrova in the semifinals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/20111103/petrova-ivanovic-win-action-begins-in-bali_2256076_2504640|title = Women's Tennis Association - Official Website}}</ref>
'''Day 2''' <br> Anabel Medina Garrigues opened the second day of action by defeating top seed [[Marion Bartoli]], ending an eighteen match losing streak against top 10 opponents. The Spaniard saved match points against Bartoli in the second set, who retired after being down 0–1 in the third set. Bartoli had taken the first set and was 5–2 down in the second before battling back to force a tiebreak and holding two match points. In the final match of the opening rounds, 3rd seed [[Sabine Lisicki]] became the only seed to win. The German saved set point in the first set against [[Daniela Hantuchová]], before sealing a straight sets win.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/20111104/medina-lisicki-round-out-semifinals-in-bali_2256076_2506022|title = Women's Tennis Association - Official Website}}</ref>
'''Day 3''' <br> In the first semifinal, Ivanovic won 8 of the first 9 games to lead Petrova by a set and a break. However Petrova responded and held set point at 5–4 in the second set, but the Serb eventually saved it, and closed the match out, 6–1, 7–5, to advance to her first WTA final of the year. In the second match, Medina Garrigues began greatly, snatching the opening set, 6–3, before the 3rd seeded German fired back to take the second set, 6–4. Having fallen down 4–0 in the decider, and sustaining a mid-back injury since the second-set, Lisicki retired, allowing the Spaniard to advance to her biggest final of the year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/20111105/ivanovic-medina-last-two-standing-in-bali_2256076_2506694|title=Women's Tennis Association - Official Website}}</ref>
'''Day 4''' <br> In the final Ivanovic successfully defended her title in just over an hour. The Serb broke early in the first set and easily won the second set, losing only seven points, to claim the title. Earlier in the day Nadia Petrova claimed third place when Sabine Lisicki withdrew from their match before it began. Instead Petrova played an exhibition match with Daniela Hantuchová, which the Russian won in three sets, taking the final set 6–0.<ref name="final">{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/20111106/birthday-girl-ivanovic-celebrates-bali-style_2256076_2507618|title=Women's Tennis Association - Official Website}}</ref><ref>http://2009.commbanktennis.com/2009-view.php?subaction=showfull&id=1320573066&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2,14&{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
