Alex Eala and her American friend Iva Jovic will set aside their friendship when they face each other in the Stars of the Open charity event on Aug. 27 in New York.
The annual event, held during US Open Fan Week, will feature several rising tennis stars in four singles matches.
A portion of ticket proceeds will support the USTA Foundation’s tennis and education programs for under-resourced communities.
Eala and Jovic, who have previously teamed up in doubles, may also compete together at the WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open.
Jovic has won both of their previous singles meetings at the French Open and HSBC Championships.
