Ivanovic has a realistic chance for her first title of 2010.
by bahamaderek on Sep.20, 2010, under Ana Ivanovic, Vera Dushevina
Ana Ivanovic has been drawn to face Russian world No.62 Vera Dushevina in the first round of the Hansol Korea Open in Seoul. The tournament begins on Monday, with Ana’s round one clash expected to take place on Tuesday.
She is familiar with 23-year-old Dushevina, having played her six times on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. She holds a 5-1 head-to-head advantage.
Should she reach round two, seventh-seeded Ivanovic will meet either Julia Goerges or Klara Zakapolova. Third seed Maria Kirilenko is a possible quarter-finals opponent.
Top seed Nadia Petrova and No.6 Yaroslava Shvedova are potential semi-final adversaries.
The seeded players in the bottom half of the draw, whom Ana cannot meet until the final, are No.2 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, No.4 Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, No.5 Alisa Kleybanova and No.8 Agnes Szavay.
