While it was an early exit for Alize Cornet, one of three women's players to commit to the Pilot Pen Tennis tournament, Taylor Dent is still alive although he has work to do.

Dent, who was in New Haven as the headliner in the tournament's annual free tennis lesson to New Haven middle school students, was lost the first two sets to Spain's Daniel Gimeno-Traver. Dent, playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2005, rallied to win the third set before the match was suspended.

Cornet lost to Russia's Vera Dushevina 3-6, 6-0, 6-4. Another the other seeds to lose on the women's side is 2008 Pilot Pen finalist Anna Chakvetadze who fell in three sets to Germany's Sabine Lisicki.

Caroline Wozniacki, who beat Chakvetadze in the 2008 New Haven final, appeared to be headed for defeat as well but she rallied for a 5-7, 6-3, 6-1 win over Kimiko Date Krumm. Wozniacki's second-round matchup against Maria Kirilenko is intriguing since Wozniacki has been chosen to wear Stella McCartney tennis apparel, the only tennis player to adorn such attire. Why is this of note? Well, that distinction used to go to Kirilenko, who is wearing Stella McCartney's creations at Wimbledon.

Amelie Mauresmo, who joins Cornet and Dominika Cibulkova as the women's players who have committed early to the Aug. 21-29 Pilot Pen, advanced to the second round with a three-set win over Melinda Czink.

Former world No. 1 players Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic each needed three sets to win on Tuesday. The biggest names to fall on the women's side were former top 10 players Nicole Vaidisova and Jelena Dokic while 2007 Pilot Pen finalist Agnes Szavay also was knocked out in the first round.

Marat Safin, formerly the world's top-ranked men's player, saw his final Wimbledon end with a loss to American Jesse Levine. Fabrice Santoro, also playing in Wimbledon for the final time, took out No. 33 seed Nicolas Kiefer (who earned a seed after the withdrawal of Rafael Nadal). American Robert Kendrick made a good showing for himself before falling to Andy Murray in four entertaining sets.

Defending Pilot Pen men's champion Marin Cilic has an interesting match tomorrow against big-serving American Sam Querrey. It will be the third match on Centre Court. Dent will be up second on Court 15 to complete his match. Pilot Pen commits Mardy Fish and Tommy Robredo will kick off play on Courts 2 and 4 respectively. Fish will face Janko Tipsarevic while Robredo draws Stefan Koubek. Cibulkova will play Urszula Radwanska in the first match on Court 7.
