Ana vs Tanasugarn

Ana is set to face world No.52 Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand in the second round of the French Open on Wednesday. It will be the first meeting between the pair.

Tanasugarn reached round two thanks to a hard-fought 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 victory over Frenchwoman Camille Pin. Ana, meanwhile, beat world No.44 Sara Errani 7-6, 6-3.

Tanasugarn, who turned 31 on Monday, is playing in her 12th French Open tournament. Her best showing so far is a third round finish in 2002. The Thai is perhaps best-known for her performances at Wimbledon, where she has reachd the second week no fewer than seven times, including a quarter-final appearance last year.


During last year's grass court season she scored victories over the likes of former world No.1 Jelena Jankovic, current world No.1 Dinara Safina and world No.6 Vera Zvonareva.

Ana said: "She's a very experienced player and she's consistent. I know she will bring a lot of balls back, and I'm going to have to be patient in order to come through this match. I'm looking forward to it."
