Erakovic OK to play

02/01/2009 11:32:04

After a spate of withdrawals, ASB Classic tennis organisers are relieved about the fitness of New Zealand's top player.

Marina Erakovic has been battling an ankle injury over the past few weeks, limiting her practice time ahead of Monday's first round, but tournament director Brenda Perry says Erakovic trained twice at Tennis Lane yesterday and feels she is now fully fit.

The tournament's top two seeds, Russian Elena Dementieva and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, arrive in Auckland tonight.
