Last year, Raina became only the third Indian woman tennis player after Sania Mirza and Nirupama Vaidyanathan to breach the top-200 rankings in singles.

Stosur, who currently holds 77th position in WTA Rankings, is a former world No. 1 in doubles and a former world No. 4 in singles. She had won the 2011 US Open by defeating Serena Williams in the final.

She has finished runner-up at six other Grand Slam tournaments, including the singles at the 2010 French Open.
