The 250ATP is about to start in Nice just before the French Open and there is a very good pack of players.
The seed no.1 will be John Isner that usually likes to prepare a slam playing a tournament the week before, then we have Gulbis, Monfils, Simon, Tursunov, Mahut, Delbonis and Roger-Vasselin.
The defending champion is Albert Montanes that is unseeded and he will face Ebden in the opener before possibly play Monfils.
This are the possible quarters
Isner – Delbonis
Simon – Mahut
Rogers-Vasselin Monfils
Tursunov – Gulbis
Difficult to point at a favorite, probably it’s time for Gulbis to make a move.
