The New Zealand tennis number one Marina Erakovic has won her opening round match at the Edgbaston Classic in England.

Erakovic beat Canadian Stephanie Dubois 6-4, 6-4 in the opening round.

She’ll next play 6th seed Sania Mirza of India in the second round.
Erakovic is using this Birmingham grasscourt event as a part of her buildup to Wimbledon in 10 days time… last week she won an ITF tournament in Surbiton.
