Posted on February 9, 2008
The Open 13 in Marseille this week boasts a strong field of up-and-comers including world No. 3 Novak Djokovic, Frenchman Richard Gasquet, Brit Andy Murray, and Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Other seeds are Russian Mikhail Youzhny, former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, Marcos Baghdatis and Paul-Henri Mathieu.
Djokovic opens against a qualifier, while the No. 2-seeded Gasquet will face Italian Simone Bolelli.
Other openers of interest are (8) Mathieu against French countryman Marc Gicquel, (5) Ferrero vs. Koream giant-killer Hyung-Taik Lee, (6) Baghdatis vs. homecountry favorite Arnaud Clement, (3) Youzhny vs. Croat riser Marin Cilic, and (7) Tsonga vs. Croatian veteran Mario "Baby Goran" Ancic.
Also in the draw is unseeded Frenchman Gilles Simon, who last year captured the title as an unseeded player, defeating the No. 7-seeded Baghdatis 6-4, 7-6(3).
