Davenport headlines a field that includes Patty Schnyder, Alicia Molik and Jelena Jankovic.

Also competing in Indonesia will be India's Sania Mirza, who has enjoyed the fastest rise of any player on the WTA Tour this year, and 10-time major winner Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario of Spain.

The 18-year-old Mirza beat the world number five Kuznetsova at Dubai in March and last week reached the fourth round of the US Open, losing to Maria Sharapova.
