Mother-of-one Bammer contributed to her own downfall, losing the opening set to love and producing six double-faults in an 89-minute contest. The Austrian ranked 20 was broken six times as her fight-back attempt stalled.

Shvedova, 75th, lost in the Australian Open second round and went out in the Pattaya first-round last week. She will face Italian Karin Knapp, who beat Frenchwoman Nathalie Dechy 7-6 (7/3), 6-4.

World number one Justine Henin heads the field as she plays the home event for only the third time in Flemish-speaking Antwerp, Europe's diamond-dealing capital.

She lost a 2002 debut final to Venus Williams and went down to former rival Kim Clijsters in the semis a year later.

The event is in its final year after a WTA calendar revision which comes into force in 2009.
