Chardy will see this as a great opportunity for an upset as Mathieu has been dire on the red dirt this year, not winning a single match on clay on the tour in 2010. Mathieu crashed out at the first hurdle in Bastad and Hamburg over the past couple of weeks losing to fairly inauspicious opponents in Pablo Cuevas and Pere Riba-Madrid.

Chardy has not been exactly spell-binding himself, and his hopes of defending his Stuttgart title went up in smoke in round one but he put in a decent showing at Hamburg, reaching the third round before losing to Jurgen Melzer.      

They have played once before, Mathieu winning 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 at Wimbledon 2008.

However, given the both of both players going into this tournament, Chardy is the more likely winner.
