Tadeja Majeric to Face Dinara Safina in the First Round

Main tournament draw took place at the press centre of the Banka Koper Slovenia Open on Saturday. Slovenian Tadeja Majeric represented the players and helped the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Supervisor Fabrice Chouquet with drawing of lots. She was all smiles when she drew world number one and top seeded player Dinara Safina as her first round opponent.

Defending champion Sara Errani, who is looking very strong at the moment as she advanced to the final in Palermo this week, will try to dismiss world No. 112 Arantxa Rus in the first round. The Italian, who is seeded fifth in Portoroz, and Dutch have yet to meet.

Second seeded and last year's finalist Anabel Medina Garrigues still has to find out her first round opponent as she will be meeting a qualifier.

The odds are looking good for other two Slovenian players as 18-year-old Polona Hercog (No. 86) will meet Italian Alberta Brianti (No. 107), while the opponent of 22-year-old Masa Zec Peskiric (No. 101) in the first round is 2005 champion her five years senior Klara Zakopalova (No. 122). The fourth Slovenian player in the main draw 15-year-old Nastja Kolar, who was awarded wild card, will be competing against No. 4 seed Italian Roberta Vinci in the opening round.

Other interesting first round matches are:

Kaia Kanepi (EST/3) - Olga Govortsova (BLR)

Lucie Safarova (CZE/6) - Katie O'Brien (GBR)

Vera Dushevina (RUS/7) - Tathiana Garbin (ITA)

Petra Kvitova (CZE/8) - Galina Voskoboeva (KAZ)
