seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova was eliminated from the Eastbourne International Women's Open on Wednesday, losing 6-2, 6-2 to Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki in the second round.
The Wimbledon warmup event lost another top name when Amelie Mauresmo, who lost to Justine Henin in last year's final, retired when leading Samantha Stosur 2-1.
Second-seeded Marion Bartoli advanced, showing no sign of her recent wrist injury as she overwhelmed Sybille Bammer 6-3, 6-0, while third-seeded Vera Zvonareva was also upset, losing 6-3, 6-3 to Ekaterina Makarova.
Champ Ljubicic eliminated
In the Netherlands, defending champion Ivan Ljubicic was ousted by Viktor Troicki of Serbia 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (5) in the second round of the Ordina Open on Wednesday.
In the quarterfinals, Troicki will face seventh-seeded Guillermo Canas, who beat Rohan Bopanna of India 6-2, 6-4.
Also, Arnaud Clement of France beat Marcel Granollers of Spain 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-3, and Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina beat Rainer Schuettler of Germany 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5).
In the women's event, top-seeded Elena Dementieva of Russia beat Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 7-5.
Michaella Krajicek overpowered Sania Mirza of India 6-2, 6-2, and seventh-seeded Katarina Srebotnik of Slovakia beat Chan Yung-jan of Taiwan 6-4, 6-3 but injured her left ankle and had to withdraw from the tournament. That advanced third-seeded Dinara Safina to the semifinals.

Earlier Wednesday, top-seeded Radek Stepanek pulled out of the Wimbledon warmup tournament with a rib injury and said he may not be fit to play in next week's Wimbledon.
