Sevastova, who is ranked 661st in the world, will meet Mita, who is ranked 220th in the world.
The opponents have not met so far.
It has already been reported that at the special invitation of the competition organizers, the Latvian tennis player competed in two “WTA 125” series tournaments in Andorra and the French city of Limoges in November and December, reaching the quarterfinals in both.
Mitu reached the round of 16 in the French city of Angers at the beginning of December in a tournament of a similar rank, but in the Australian Open, which Sevastova missed, she did not pass the first round of the qualifying competition.
Sevastova has returned to the court after an almost two-year break related to the birth of a child.
The Latvian tennis player had temporarily stopped her sports career due to injuries in 2013, but successfully returned to the courts in 2015.
During her career, she has won four WTA titles, winning in Oeiras in 2010, Mallorca in 2017, Bucharest in 2018 and Jurmala in 2019. In four more tournaments in 2016 and 2018, the Liepaja player reached the final. Mitu does not have a single title in WTA tournaments.
The main tournament will start on Monday, February 5.
The competition will be held on hard courts.
