Tough challenge: Sania Mirza

Somdev Devvarman is the top seed in men's singles and Sania Mirza second in women's draw. The famed pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have no challengers for the top billing in men's doubles.
Somdev, ranked 100, should have an easy outing in the first round where he takes on unranked Devin Mullings of Bahamas.

Rohan Bopanna takes on another unranked player Robert Buyinza of Uganda. Bopanna, however, can run into World No 130 and second seed Peter Luczak of Australia in the second round.

In women's singles, the top four seeds have been given byes due to fewer entries. Sania, ranked 131, will take on the winner between Maleeha Solih Aminath of Maldives and Britanny Teei of Cook Islands in the second round.

"It, however, could be a tough quarter-final for Sania, who can face eighth seeded Marina Erakovic. Let us hope for the best," India's women's coach Enrico Piperno said.

In the men's doubles, Paes and Bhupathi will take on Sri Lanka's Ruchika Amresh Jayawickreme and Thangarajah Dineshkantha.
