If you're going to New Haven to see Lindsay Davenport, you should get there early

Unfortunately, she and New Haven partner Lisa Raymond meet Cara Black and Liezel Huber in the first round of Pilot Pen Tennis. An upset is always possible, but I wouldn't count on it.

Other Interesting first round matches:

Patty Schnyder v. Francesca Schiavone (Schiavone's lagging career has had an upswing lately)

Sania Mirza v. Anabel Medina Garrigues

There will probably be one or two more interesting first round matches once the qualifiers are put into the draw.
