[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,66) vs Ivan Ljubicic (CRO,36)
[R1] Sania Mirza (IND,74) vs Kristina Barrois (GER,59)

Sania is facing German girl Kristina Barrois in the first round, she is in botom draw with Sharapova ... Barrois reached in the final at Estoril on clay but hopefully Sania will take care of her ... If Sania cross the first hurdle then she can face #12 seeded Polish player Agnieszka Radwanska.

Tough match for Sommy against very experienced Crot and former top 3 player Ivan Ljubicic but it is lot better than facing top-10 player in the first round ... Sommy is in top draw with Rafa.
