Alberto Berlocq (ARG) vs. Jack Sock (USA): The American kid who took Flushing Meadows by storm last summer is making his main draw debut for 2011. Ten years older, Argentina's Carlos Berlocq has struggled to a 2-6 start to 2011.

Florian Mayer (GER) vs. Ivo Karlovic (CRO): Karlovic is about as deadly an opponent as one could fear to face in the first round right now. Having reached the quarterfinals of Indian Wells last week, and setting a new world record for fastest serve 10 days before that. Mayer is ranked 39th in the world with a quick 11-8 start to this season, but the 27-year-old has never won a title on the ATP level.

Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) vs. Robin Haase (NED): The result of being not-quite consistent enough to crack the Top 30 means no byes and lots of tough first-round matchups for the affable Tipsarevic, who is ranked 44th in the world and is 11-7 in 2011. Haase is Tipsarevic's opposite—tall and skinny—and is ranked 63rd, standing 6-7 to date in 2011.

Ryan Harrison (USA) vs. Rainer Schuettler (GER): His fourth-round appearance at Indian Wells got Harrison plenty of attention and a 22-point bump in the rankings. He now takes on a man who debuted on tour when Harrison was all of three years old in the 34-year-old Schuettler, who has staggered out of the gate to a 1-6 mark.

Melanie Oudin (USA) vs. Daniela Hantuchova (SVK): The 19-year-old Oudin fought her way through the qualifications to get here, but she'll have a much tougher time with 30th-ranked Hantuchova. The Slovak owns a 2-0 record against the American, including a three-set win over her in Miami in 2009.

Samantha Stosur (AUS) vs. Jie Zheng (CHN): Stosur is a remarkably unimpressive 7-7 to start 2011, flaming out early at Indian Wells two weeks ago. That can be big trouble against a competitor like Zheng, even if she's only 1-4 to date. The pair have a history—they split two matchups in 2009.
