Draw released for Monterrey Open: Clijsters against Konta set for first round

The action continues next week with the Monterrey Open taking place in Mexico with some top names involved in the draw.

Number One seed in the draw is Elina Svitolina who will aim to garner some form after a poor start to 2020.

She will take on Danka Kovinic in the first round with a lucky loser or qualifier awaiting potentially after that.

The big game sees Kim Clijsters who was excellent in her first game back against a Garbine Muguruza in Dubai take on Johanna Konta.

Konta could be one of the main seeds to fall. This is due to the Briton’s lack of game time since the US Open last year.

She has not played since being dumped out by Oceane Dodin in St Petersburg.

Sloane Stephens is another top seed who needs to kick start some form. Defeat early doors in Acapulco means the pressure is on, she faces Emma Navarro.

Venus Williams is among the field; as is Heather Watson who won last night in Acapulco; she takes on Tatjana Maria.
