KEY POINTS:
New Zealand tennis No 1 Marina Erakovic has a low-key buildup for the US Open in New York next week.
Eliminated in the first round at the Olympic Games in Beijing last week, Erakovic has opted to contest the US$75,000 Forest Hills Classic, which starts tomorrow (NZT) in New York.
The 20-year-old has been seeded second for the tournament and is due to meet American Jamea Jackson in the first round.
The top seed at the tournament is Pauline Parmentier, of France, who is ranked No 47 in the world, two places better than Erakovic.
