Leading the way is top seed and 2014 champion Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, No. 2 Joao Sousa, No. 3 Borna Coric, No. 4 Federico Delbonis, No. 5 Teymuraz Gabashvili, No. 6 Albert Ramos-Vinolas, No. 7 Pablo Carreno Busta and No. 8 Jiri Vesely. Overall six players in the Top 50 Emirates ATP Rankings are in the draw. Garcia- Lopez and Paul-Henri Mathieu (2007) are the former champions in the draw. DAY 1 PREVIEW: There are six matches (4 singles, 2 doubles) scheduled on opening day at the Grand Prix Hassan II. In the first match on Centre Court Argentine qualifier Maximo Gonzalez meets Daniel Munoz de la Nava for the second time this season on the ATP World Tour, having lost to the Spaniard in his only other main-draw appearance of the year at Sao Paulo. Qualifier Franko Skugor then faces Spain’s Albert Montanes, the 2007 finalist and oldest player in the singles draw. In the third match of the day wild card Lamine Ouahab, Morocco’s No. 1 and a 2015 quarterfinalist at this event, meets Argentina’s Facundo Bagnis for the first time, while the final match of the day features another Moroccan – wild card Reda El Amrani, returning to the ATP World Tour for the first time since 2011, to take on Croatian qualifier Nikola Mektic. GARCIA-LOPEZ TOP SEED: Spaniard Garcia-Lopez, who won the title in 2014, is the top seed in the tournament for the second straight year. The 32-year-old is making his fifth straight tournament appearance and eighth overall (10-6 record). Along with his title, Garcia-Lopez has reached the quarter- finals three times. This season he has compiled a 6-8 match record with his best results the quarter- finals in Chennai and Sofia. He also advanced to the third round at the Australian Open. DEFENDING CHAMP OUT: Reigning champion Martin Klizan withdrew from the tournament due to an on-going foot injury. The No. 1 Slovak Republic player won the biggest ATP World Tour title of his career at the 500 level tournament in Rotterdam in February (d. Monfils). ALMAGRO ON THE MOVE: Former World No. 9 Nicolas Almagro is making his third tournament appearance (also 2005, 2015). Last year he returned for the first time in 10 years to reach the quarter- finals (l. to eventual champion Klizan). In February, he reached the final in Buenos Aires with wins over No. 9 Tsonga (QF) and No. 6 Ferrer (SF) before losing to Thiem in a 3rd set TB. SPANISH SUCCESS: A Spaniard has hoisted the Casablanca trophy in five of the last seven years, with Stan Wawrinka lifting the trophy in 2010 and Martin Klizan last year. The Spanish winners are Garcia- Lopez (2014), Tommy Robredo (2013), Pablo Andujar, who won back-to-back titles in 2011-12, and Juan Carlos Ferrero (2009). There are a tournament-high eight Spaniards in the main draw, including three former finalists: Daniel Gimeno-Traver (2015), Albert Ramos-Vinolas (2012) and Albert Montanes (2007). FLYING THE FLAG: There are three Moroccans in the draw: wild cards Amine Ahouda, Reda El Amrani and Lamine Ouahab, who reached the quarter-finals in Casablanca last year (l. to Garcia- Lopez). The 31-year-old Ouahab is the No. 1 Moroccan player at No. 315 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, and making his fifth main-draw appearance, while 17-year-old Ahouda is making his ATP World Tour debut. El Amrani, the 27-year-old former world No. 160, is making his first appearance on the ATP World Tour since 2011 (Casablanca, l. 1R to Kavcic). Moroccans won titles in 1997 with current tournament director Hicham Arazi and Younes El Aynaoui in 2002.

  • Les Français Signent Pour Les 1/4 De Finales
    ENTRE LES LIGNES LA GAZETTE DU TOURNOI VENDREDI 13 MAI 2011 N°5 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 Les Français signent pour les 1/4 de finales 1/ Stéphane Robert a dominé le Portugais Rui Machado (6/4 6/4). 2/ Florent Serra parvint à s’imposer après un match difficile face à Jonathan Eysseric (6/4 6/3 6/3) . 3/ Le jeu puissant de Jonathan Eysseric n’a pas suffi à déstabiliser le Primrosien Florent Serra. 4/ Marc Gicquel profita par l’abandon de l’Allemand Mischa Zverev (5/0 ab.) pour se qualifier. 5/ Le double Benneteau/Mahut réalisa une belle performance face à la paire russe Elgin/Kudryavtsev (6/3 6/4). 6/ Jérémy Chardy effectua un beau retour dans le 2ème set face au Hollandais Jesse Huta Galung (6/3 7/6). 7/ Jesse Huta Galung en pleine incertitude en fin de match contre Chardy. Comment en arrive-t-on là ? Il y a un peu plus d’un an, j’étais 61° mondial (février 2010) et je TAPIS ROUGE n’ai pas réussi à tenir mes points sur le grand circuit en ne faisant sûrement pas les bons choix… Je savais que je m’exposais et j’assume. Mais il me faut aussi garder le bénéfice de quelques belles victoires en 2010. Est-ce que je vais être capable ? La question est permanente. Obsédante. Et la réponse loin d’être immédiate. Tout cela à cause d’un long arrêt ? On va dire quelques mois… De février 2007 à juin 2008 à cause d’une hépatite ramassée dans une assiette au Brésil qui fut décelée avec beaucoup de retard et dont le traitement fut bien long.
