Juan Carlos Ferrero vs. (Q) Nicolas Mahut
World No. 51 Juan Carlos Ferrero looks to break a 1-1 series tie with qualifier Nicolas Mahut on Monday. The two are set to meet for the first time in more than three years.
Ferrero is 20-10 for the season following a quarterfinal finish in Valencia. The 31-year-old veteran is bidding for his first Paris victory since 2005.
Mahut is a modest 10-10 at the tour-level after making the round of 16 in Valencia. The Frenchman will attempt to win his first Paris match in four seasons.
Mikhail Youzhny vs. (Q) Philipp Kohlschreiber
