US Men's Clay Court: Sun Results/Mon Order of Play |

Houston’s Michael Russell will headline the first day of main draw play at the 2011 US Men’s Clay Court Championship on Monday at River Oaks Country Club. Russell will take stadium court at 6 p.m. to face Russian Igor Andreev.

Other players in action Monday include former Australian Open finalist Rainer Schuettler along with No. 7 seed Pablo Cuevas and No. 8 seed Grigor Dimitrov.

Play begins at 11 a.m. on Monday with the final round of qualifying on the outside courts. Those matches include four Americans who are vying to join their eight countrymen in the main draw along with 2007 champion Ivo Karlovic who fired 29 aces in Sunday’s win over Jose Acasuso. It will not count as a tournament record because it took place in qualifying, but that tally is five more than the tournament record.

In addition to Russell headling Monday night, a preliminary schedule for the Tuesday-Thursday night sessions has also been announced (subject to change):

TUESDAY – The World No. 1 doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan will begin their title defense againstJames Cerretani and Adil Shamasdin at 6 p.m. followed by American James Blake battling ArgentineCarlos Berlocq.
