Vera Zvonareva is up against Bojana Jovanovski on Thursday in the second round of the Australian Open

Vera Zvonareva put her WTA Sydney Open disappointment well behind her this week with a superb 6-2, 6-1 first round win against Sybille Bammer in Melbourne. She now faces Bojana Jovanovski on Thursday in the second round, and will be looking to continue her challenge for a maiden Slam title. She’s expected to progress here, though the task ahead is not necessarily a simple one.

Jovanovski is a rising star, and only entered the top hundred last year. She’s managed to record a number of victories against highly rated opposition, and her recent form has been impressive. Her wins in Sydney against Aravane Rezai and Flavia Pennetta, both in straight sets, were especially noteworthy. The Serb is not an opponent that Zvonareva should expect to demolish.

This has the potential to be an intriguing matchup. Both players have seen their reputations grow rapidly over the past year, and both have solid first round performances behind them. Zvonareva is likely to come out on top on Thursday, though it will be fascinating to see what Jovanovski can do.
