Opens one's eyes to an article strangely askew (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awakes

'opens one's eyes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'an article strangely askew' is the wordplay.
'an article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'askew' with letters rearranged gives 'wakes'.
'a'+'wakes'='AWAKES'

'to' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
