In the first round of 170K WTA Tour tournament in Hasselt, Belgium Kaia lost to 3rd seed Francesca Schiavone from Italy, ranked no. 15 in the world, in two sets 3-6 4-6.
Schiavone is one of the most in-form players on the Tour at the moment. She has won 20 of her last 27 matches, a record highlighted by her stunning run to the final two weeks ago at Moscow, where she ousted Amelie Mauresmo, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Elena Dementieva en route to her first Tier I final before succumbing to Mary Pierce.
