CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Lisa Raymond, Tatiana Panova and Francesca Schiavone, the only seeds to play Monday in the first round of the Family Circle Cup, all lost.

Raymond, the 14th seed and the No. 24 player in the world, committed 49 unforced errors in a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to Nathalie Dechy. It was her second consecutive opening-round loss as Raymond fell in straight sets last week to wild card entrant Jill Craybas at the Bausch & Lomb Championships.

Both tournaments are played on a slower clay surface that takes some of the sting out of Raymond's serve-and-volley attack.

Meilen Tu beat the 15th-seeded Panova 6-3, 6-4, while Marie-Gaiane Mikaelian defeated No. 17 Schiavone 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.

Raymond breezed through the first set and led 3-1 lead in the second. But Dechy gradually took control simply by keeping the ball in play and waiting for Raymond to make a mistake.

Raymond grew increasingly frustrated, slamming a ball into a back wall and throwing her racket to the ground.
