Elena Baltacha opens her bid in the US Open when she faces Argentina's Betina Jozami in her opening qualifying match.

The Scottish number one has moved to 102 in the world and if she can reach the main draw in New York it would surely take her into the top 100.

Meanwhile, in Thailand, former Scottish number two Jamie Baker continues his comeback from serious illness.

Baker beat Thailand's Peerakit Siributwong 6-1 6-3 in his first match in the ITF Futures event in Nonthaburi.
