New York:
Sania Mirza and Somdev Devvarman are the only Indians in the singles
draw of the US Open beginning here Monday.
Sania, who is ranked 160, will face Portugal's Michelle Larcher De
Brito, ranked 176, in the first round Monday.
De Brito, 17, had been in great form last year when she made it to
the third round in French Open and the second round at Wimbledon.
She reached a carrer-high ranking of 76 in June 2009, but since then
the Portugal girl has slipped down the ladder.
It will be the first meeting between the two players and if Sania
manages to clear the first round, she is likely to face Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, seeded 20th, who plays German Kristina
Barrois in the first round.
Saina had to qualify for the main draw of US Open singles, the first
time since 2005 that the Indian had to play in a Grand Slam
qualifiers.
Her best singles performance here came in 2005 when she reached the
fourth round. She also reached the doubles quarterfinals here in
2007.
Somdev, who entered the top-100 this season and is currently ranked
99, will meet South African Davis Cupper Kevin Anderson, ranked 77.
If Somdev gets past his one-time doubles partner Anderson, he will
square up against either American Tim Smyczek or Brazilian Thomaz
Bellucci.
Somdev's best performance at a Grand Slam came last year at US Open
when he reached the second round.
In the men's doubles, Leander Paes will be defending his title with
Czech Lukas Dlouhy. They had beaten India's Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark
Knowles of Bahamas in the title clash last year.
Paes was also the runners-up in mixed doubles with Cara Black in
2009.
Bhupathi will be teaming up with Max Mirnyi of Belarus in the men's
doubles.
Also in action will be India's Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan's Aisam Ul
haq Qureshi, who have been in hot form this season. They captured
their first ATP World Tour doubles title in Johannesburg in February
and reached their third tour-level final in New Haven Saturday. The
India-Pakistani pair were finalists in Nice and Casablanca earlier
in the year.
