THE LOWDOWN

HEAD-TO-HEAD
All-time meetings: Nicolas Mahut 1-6 Gilles Simon
Last meeting: Gilles Simon beat Nicolas Mahut 3-6, 6-3, 6-4

NICOLAS MAHUT

  • Nicolas Mahut eliminated seventh seed Stan Wawrinka in the second round by coming through a final set decider on a tie-break.
  • This will be Mahut's fifth match of the tournament having come through two qualifying rounds and he has shown plenty of battling qualities.
  • Mahut has not had much success against his Davis Cup partner in the past with his sole victory against him coming way back in 2008.

GILLES SIMON

  • Gilles Simon has come through deciding sets in both of his first two rounds and claimed the notable scalp of Kevin Anderson in the second round.
  • Simon has largely dominated this particular rivalry as he has won six of the seven career meetings with his compatriot.
  • The 34-year-old is seeking his fourth semi-final of the season having previously reached that stage at the Tata Open, Sydney International and the Grand Prix Hassan II but this carries more points on account of its ATP 500 status.

THE PREDICTION

Although Simon has history on his side in this particular match-up with his fellow Frenchman, five of their seven meetings have gone to a deciding set so the head-to-head score does not tell the full story. Another close match could be in store here then, with Simon just getting the nod.
