Mahut begins his busy day at 11 am against countryman Paul Henri-Mathieu. The Frenchmen were born nine days apart in 1982 and live in Boulogne-Billancourt. But despite their proximity in age and residence, Mahut and Mathieu have only met twice on the ATP World Tour. The older Mathieu leads 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head rivalry. Mahut is enjoying a milestone week in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The two-time champion began his title defense with a win over qualifier Lukas Lacko on Monday, the same day that he became the second World No. 1 from France in doubles or singles. Mahut joined Hall-of-Famer Yannick Noah, who spent 19 weeks atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings during the 1986 and 1987 seasons. Because his regular partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert is playing singles in Stuttgart this week, Mahut is teaming with World No. 10 Rohan Bopanna for the first time. They make their debut Wednesday in the third match on Court 1.

  • Federer, Mike Bryan Seek Milestone Wins on Friday
    MERCEDES CUP: DAY 5 MEDIA NOTES Friday, June 10, 2016 TC Weissenhof, Stuttgart, Germany | June 6-12, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €606,525 | Surface: Grass ATP Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.mercedescup.de Martin Dagahs: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @MercedesCup Press Room: +49 711 32095705 facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/MercedesCup FEDERER, MIKE BRYAN SEEK MILESTONE WINS ON FRIDAY QUARTER-FINAL PREVIEW: No. 1 seed Roger Federer could pass Hall-of-Famer Ivan Lendl on Friday and move into second place in the Open Era with 1,072 victories. Federer faces Florian Mayer in the Mercedes Cup quarter-finals, and with a win would trail only Jimmy Connors among the winningest players since the spring of 1968. Federer has a 6-0 FedEx ATP Head 2 Head record against Mayer, including straight-set wins on German grass at the Gerry Weber Open in 2005, 2012 and 2015. Federer is not the only man with a milestone on the line in Stuttgart. Mike Bryan seeks his 1,000th doubles win when he and twin brother Bob face Oliver Marach and Fabrice Martin in a semi-final match on Court 1. Only Federer, Lendl, Connors and Daniel Nestor have earned at least 1,000 victories in singles or doubles. Bob Bryan has 985 doubles wins individually. As a team, the Bryans are 984-300. Also in action are a pair of players who won their first ATP World Tour title in Stuttgart: 2002 champion Mikhail Youzhny and 2008 champion Juan Martin del Potro.
