Fellow seeds Xavier Malisse and Jarkko Nieminen will be in opening-round action at s-Hertogenbosch, as they square off against respective opponents Alejandro Falla and Maximo Gonzalez.
(3) Xavier Malisse vs. (Q) Alejandro Falla
World No. 41 Xavier Malisse holds a 3-1 lifetime advantage against qualifier Alejandro Falla, entering into their first-round clash. The Belgian leads 2-0 on grass.
Malisse is 14-14 for the season, after suffering a second-round loss to Queen’s Club champion Andy Murray. The 2010 semifinalist looks to win consecutive matches for the first time since early May, when he reached the third round in Madrid.
World No. 86 Alejandro Falla makes his return to Tour-level, following a round of 16 finish at the French Open. The 27-year-old advanced to the 2010 UNICEF Open quarterfinal, where he fell to Malisse in three sets. He is 7-9 for 2011.
Prediction: Malisse in straight sets.
(5) Jarkko Nieminen vs. Maximo Gonzalez
World No. 50 Jarkko Nieminen will attempt to rebound after losing first-round matches at the French Open and Halle. The 29-year-old Finn is 8-12 for the season, looking to win his first contest since Rome. He is set to compete in his second UNICEF Open.
World No. 76 Maximo Gonzalez is bidding for his first Tour-level victory since Monte-Carlo. The 27-year-old Argentine, taking part in his maiden UNICEF Open, has compiled a 3-6 season mark.
Prediction: Nieminen in straight sets.
