MOSCOW, August 31 (RIA Novosti) - Top-seeded Russian tennis super star Maria Sharapova is expected to win her first match at the US Open against Dally Randriantefy of Madagascar Wednesday.

Maria Kirilenko faces a difficult match against tenth seeded Venus Williams, winner of Wimbledon 2005 and former No. 1 in the ATP world rankings.
