Somdev Devvarman has drawn world No. 4 Andy Murray, while Sania Mirza will face Israeli Sahar Peer in their first-round matches of the US Open, beginning on Monday. Ranked 64th in the world, 26-year-old Somdev will face a mounting task to go forward beyond the first round in opposition to the in-form Murray.
The dou's meeting at Flushing Meadows will be the first between the two. The Indian's record this year is solid, with a run through qualifying to the third round in Indian Wells in March the stress, while last year, he won the gold medal in the men's singles contest at the Commonwealth Games.
His fighting skill and a liking for hard courts should pose a few troubles for Murray, who has again been placed in Rafael Nadal's half of the draw. Mirza, who is coming to New York following a string of losses in first rounds and qualifiers since her return post Wimbledon, is also likely to find the going tough against Peer.
