Jovanovski’s opponent in the second round will be Akgul Amanmuradova.

Awesome performence by Bojana 🙂 BTW, according to the pic, is she a new Masha girl or she just got it herself?
I don’t think that Bojana is a Masha girl, it looks her contract with Nike expired and she wear old clothes
LuLinQa, I’m not sure, but I suppose she’s just wearing it.
I don’t think she is, the only ones wearing Sharapova’s line are Chang, Goerges, Keys and Pivovarova.
Well done Bojana!

Thanks guys 🙂
