Strange that they play the seeds against eachother first and have both the first 2 days designated to the other group.

The US were orginally going to be the no. 2 seeds (with us no. 3) before Serena pulled out and I don't think they re-drew the groups, so it's possible the country v country schedule was already set at that stage and they decided not to change it.

That is correct Steven.

Robson - Schiavone should be starting soon.

Playing a grand slam champion, suffering with a bit of a cold ... no problem, apparently

(so far)

A good surface to play Schiavone on, of course.
