2011 Champion: David Guez (FRA)
Web: Official website

Defending champion David Guez stands in front of a big chance for a failure as he drew top seed Edouard Roger-Vasselin who is in alright shape and even tried himself on the main tour. Of course ERV is a favourite in this match and one of the main tournament favourites. Second seeded Rik de Voest from RSA is an enigma; a player who was sent to retirement a few times qualified this year for Australian Open and is ranked #119 ATP, only nine spots below his career high! De Voest has a chance of beating Dustin Brown whose singles scores this year resemble a hobby player.

Third seed Malek Jaziri (TUN) doesn't play well at this stage of the season and he matches revelation from Montpellier, Guillaume Rufin, who received a Wild Card. Big chance for the French. His compatriot Paul Henri Mathieu, awaited by many, has an opportunity of getting his game together and winning a few battles. Fortune has been indulgent with him, giving him out of shape Russian Evgeny Donskoy. This way in the second round we can witness a clash of veterans: Mathieu and Arnaud Clement who claimed he was going to end career after the season.

Florent Serra gets to play his compatriot Kenny de Schepper. In fact, Serra has been not bad lately. If he keeps that level he can even win the tournament. Heroes from Heilbronn: Bjorn Phau and Dominik Meffert also should be in radar zone.
