JO-WILFRIED TSONGA

  • Jo-Wilfried Tsonga received a wildcard entry into the Halle Open and he has risen from No. 239 at the end of an injury-plagued 2018 to No. 77 this week.
  • The 34-year-old Frenchman has 17 career wins since he turned professional in 2004 and his most recent title came at the Open Sud de France in February this year.
  • Tsonga advanced to the round of 16 at the Mercedes Cup last week where he was beaten by Canadian Milos Raonic in three sets.

BENOIT PAIRE

  • The 30-year-old Frenchman is one of eight players to have won multiple singles titles this year with wins coming in Marrakech and Lyon.
  • Benoit Paire had a 15-4 record on clay this season and lost in four sets to seventh seed Kei Nishikori in the round of 16 at the French Open.
  • Paire is ranked 28th in the world and he has a 19-13 record this season overall and the Halle Open will be his first competition on grass this year.

THE PREDICTION

The winner between Tsonga and Paire will most likely face the prospect of facing Roger Federer in the second round. Tsonga leads the head-to-head against his fellow Frenchman, but Paire won the most recent match in Marrakech this year and expect the younger Paire to beat the veteran Tsonga who is overcoming recent injury and a lack of form.
