KEY POINTS:
New Zealand number one Marina Erakovic has drawn a qualifier for her first round match at the ASB Classic in Auckland on Tuesday.
However, she says playing an in-form qualifier is not necessarily an easy draw.
She said a qualifier is always dangerous because they are ready and they have played whereas she will just be coming into her first round.
Defending champion Marion Bartoli will meet Japan's Ayumi Morita in her first round match while top seed Jelena Jankovic has drawn German Julia Schruff.
Qualifying rounds began today.
