The New Zealand tennis number one Marina Erakovic has been drawn to play a tough Chinese opponent at the Hobart International, which starts today.

The world number 69 is to face 24 ranked Jie Zheng, who is the tournament's fourth seed.

Erakovic will be looking to gain some much needed form before the Australian Open later this month.
