Ana vs Pervak First Round US Open :

Ana takes on Russian world No.52 Ksenia Pervak in the first round of the US Open on Tuesday. The match.is scheduled as the fourth of the day on the Grandstand court and will not begin before 3pm local time (9pm Central European Time).

The match could in fact be moved to Arthur Ashe Stadium, depending on how the earlier matches progress.

Ana has never before played Pervak, who currently sits just one place below her career-best ranking. She has won seven main draw matches since Wimbledon, compared to Ana's six, so it promises to be a tight battle.

Pervak beat world No.11 Andrea Petkovic at Wimbledon, and Ana is not taking her opponent lightly.

"To play someone almost in the top 50 in the first round of a Grand Slam is never an easy draw," said the 23-year-old.

"She has had some good results this year and I'm definitely going to have to start with some good tennis if I am to get through to the next round."
