Australia’s Anna Wishink (TAS), Jelena Dokic, Marija Mirkovic (VIC) and Shannon Golds (QLD) will start their Moorilla Hobart International campaigns today in the qualifying event.
Anna Wishink will meet world No.137 Betina Jozami from Argentina. Wishink is looking for her first main draw appearance at her home event.
Jelena Dokic has drawn Belgian Yanina Wickmayer (71) and Marija Mirkovic will come up against Romanian world No.75 Edina Gallovits.
Shannon Golds’ tournament aspirations were dealt a blow when she drew the No.1 seed Francesca Shiavone (ITA). Shiavone, the world No.30, is looking to become the sixth top 30 player in the Moorilla Hobart International main draw.
