MOSCOW, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, No. 5 Nadia Petrova of Russia and two other seeded players were upset Wednesday at the Kremlin Cup.

Russian Maria Kirilenko dropped Radwanska 6-3, 6-3 in a first-round meeting and Petrova fell to Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in a second-round contest.

The loss eliminated Radwanska from contention for the WTA Tour season-ending event in Doha.

Eighth-seeded Francesca Schiavone of Italy beat Spanish qualifier Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-3.
