The qualifications have ended at the US Open and so Alison (WTA-54) knows her opponent in the first round. She plays Jessica Pegula (WTA-257) for the first time. The American was top 150 of the world in 2012 but was a long time out with an injury the year after. She is coached by Michael Joyce, the former coach of Maria Sharapova.
