Novak Djokovic (3) def. Denis Gremelmayr
Last year’s semi-finalist should have no problem with the French Open rookie.
David Nalbandian (6) def. Carlos Berlocq
Nalbandian’s never gone one and done at Roland Garros and Berlocq is 3-10 this year.
Frederico Gil def. Jeremy Chardi
Gil’s playing well this year, including his run through this week’s qualifiers.
Sergio Roitman def. Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
They’ve split two career meetings, but Roitman won the only match-up on clay.
Dmitry Tursunov (30) def. Daniel Brands
Tursunov has enough clay success to convince me he can best the qualifier.
Nicolas Almagro (19) def. Boris Pashanski
Almagro just dominated Pashanski 6-2, 6-3 on clay in Brazil.
Olivier Rochus def. Sebastian Decoud
Rochus has reached the third round twice here. That experience should be enough to get past the qualifier.
Jose Acasuso def. Dominik Hrbaty
Acasuso’s won all three career meetings between these two.
Andy Murray (10) def. Jonathan Eysseric
Murray’s never won a match at the French but he has gone 5-4 on clay this year and should have enough to get past the wild card.
Mikhail Youzhny (15) def. Benjamin Becker
Youzhny beat Becker in a two tiebreaker affair last year. That, and the fact that he reached the fourth round in 2007, convinces me he’ll win this match-up.
Maximo Gonzalez def. Roko Karanusic
Gonzalez won a clay meeting between the pair of qualifiers two years ago.
Juan Ignacio Chela def. John Isner
