Briton Robson, the youngest player to contest the main draw since Martina Hingis in 1995, made the ideal start by opening the match with an ace before wrapping up the first set in 38 minutes.
But Robson, the girls' champion last year, gifted the former world number five the second set with two double faults serving at 4-5 and the teenager's game deserted her in the decider.
She saved the first match point with a defiant ace but then another double fault handed the Slovakian a second-round berth for the ninth straight year.

She will play either China's 16th seed and semi-finalist last year Zheng Jie or Kristina Barrois of Germany for a place in the third round.
