ANTWERP, Belgium - China's Li Na continued her storming 2008 comeback after a six-month injury absence, crushing Russian Elena Likhovtseva 6-1, 6-1 in the first round of the WTA Diamond Games on Monday.

But Belgian Yanina Wickmayer ambushed Peng Shuai, eliminating the Chinese player 6-0, 6-4 and won into a match with third seed Daniela Hantuchova.

Ninth seed Li, who got her seeding when Agnieszka Radwanska withdrew after winning the Pattaya title in Thailand, will await an opponent from Israeli Tzipora Oblizer, oldest woman in the field at age 34, and Slovak Dominika Cibulkova.

The 25-year-old Li, ranked 33, showed more of the dominating form that took her to a title last month on Australia's Gold Coast.

Despite losing at the Australian Open to Polish qualifier Marta Domachowska, Li, coached by husband Jiang Shan, helped China over France at the Fed Cup.

Li raced through the opening set in 25 minutes and was untroubled in the second as she earned her ninth victory of the comeback season.

There was no luck for fifth seed Sybille Bammer, knocked out by unheralded Russian Yaroslava Shvedova 6-0, 3-6, 6-2.

The first-round shock from a player who had lost four of her previous five matches - including last month in Australia to unranked Jelena Dokic - handed the Austrian her exit papers at the Sportpaleis.
