06/20/2007 - Eastbourne, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top seeds Justine Henin of Belgium and Amelie Mauresmo of France were a pair of easy second-round winners Wednesday at the $600,000 International Women's Open, a final Wimbledon tune-up.

The top-ranked and reigning Eastbourne titlist Henin handled Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 6-1, while the reigning Wimbledon champion, two-time major titlist and former world No. 1 Mauresmo mauled Italian Mara Santangelo 6-2, 6-3 on the grass courts at Devonshire Park International Tennis Centre.

The 2006 Wimbledon runner-up and reigning three-time French Open champion Henin beat Russian Anastasia Myskina in last year's Eastbourne finale. The six-time Grand Slam titlist was last year's Wimbledon runner-up to Mauresmo and just captured her fourth overall French Open title two weeks ago.

Henin's quarterfinal opponent on Thursday will be fifth-seeded Czech Nicole Vaidisova, while Mauresmo will meet sixth-seeded Israeli Shahar Peer.

Third-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova handled France's Nathalie Dechy 7-5, 7-5, while fourth-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva defeated British qualifier Katie O'Brien 6-3, 6-4 and Vaidisova vaulted past British qualifier Elena Baltacha 6-3, 6-2.

In other second-round play, Peer pasted Japanese qualifier Aiko Nakamura 6-3, 6-2, eighth-seeded Marion Bartoli of France leveled British wild card Melanie South 6-1, 6-3 and ninth-seeded Austrian Sybille Bammer edged out Czech Lucie Safarova 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 6-3.

Thursday's other quarters will pit Petrova against Bammer and the two-time Grand Slam runner-up Dementieva versus Bartoli.
