Interesting first rounds in Monterrey

There is still another round of qualifying that has to take place to set the main draw in the Monterrey Open, but--in the meantime--we already have some first round matches worth watching:

Agnieska Radwanska vs. Li Na--Li is still formulating her return to the tour (we say that every year, don't we?), but may nevertheless be a threat to Radwanska on a hard court.

Marina Eraovic vs. Maria Kirilenko--This could easily be a first-round elimination for the Russian.

Gisela Dulko vs. Nathalie Dechy--This has the makings of a very good match, and could easily go to three sets. Both players are streaky, both can be excellent shot-makers.

Melinda Czink vs. Alla Kudryavtseva--Czink has raised her game to another level this year, but may get some trouble from Kudryavtseva.

Urszula Radwanska vs. Zheng Jie--Radwanska recently broke through and defeated her sister, though she is likely to have a harder time defeating Zheng.
