Sports Illustrated First Rounds To Watch:
Stan Wawrinka vs. Grigor Dimitrov: Two top ten stalwarts meet immediately. A rough early test for Wawrinka's health and durability
Roger Federer vs. Dusan Lajovic: In his first match, Federer gets a solid veteran opponent. And fans get dueling one-handed backhands.
Gael Monfils vs. Richard Gasquet: Two French soldiers—with contrasting styles—getting on in years. Speaking of civil war….
Stevie Johnson vs. John Isner: A likely second rounder pitting two Americans.
Frances Tiafoe vs. Fernando Verdasco: The forehand hitch special.
Andy Murray vs. Benoit Paire: Murray's comeback starts against Captain Obvious.
Alize Cornet vs. Dominika Cibulkova: Two vets who have had past success at AELTC.
Maria Sharapova vs. Maria Sakkari: Round two special, Ave Maria.
Angie Kerber vs. Vera Zvonareva: Two former finalists meet in Round 1. (All credit to Zvonareva for reviving her career.)
Carolina Garcia vs. Belinda Bencic: No. 6 seed gets an opponent who was ranked No. 7 not long ago.
