Interestingly, she will face the no.2 seed, Anett Kontaveit, in the second round, which will be a tough match for sure. As per the rankings, the Estonian player looks certainly the favorite against the American legend. However, Kontaveit has had a disappointing hard-court swing so far, failing to make a mark in both Canada and Cincinnati.
