Zoe Hives and Alison Bai after their Bendigo doubles title victory
She combines with fellow Australian Alison Bai in the first round of the women's doubles.
They are scheduled to face Monica Puig (Puerto Rico) and Madison Brengle (United States) on court 15 at 1.35pm.
Hives and Bai locked in a place in the main draw by taking out a doubles title at Bendigo late last year.
Hives has since won singles titles in Ballarat and South Australia.
