ATP (2/23) Marseille - Open 13 |

Singles – First Round: (6) A Dolgopolov def. L Rosol 2-6 7-6(7-1) 6-3
Not the most encouraging start for Alexandr Dolgopolov, considering that he needs at least a semifinal to avoid falling in the rankings.

Singles – First Round: M Llodra def. M Chiudinelli (Q) 7-6(7-2) 7-6(7-3)
This doesn’t assure that Michael Llodra will stay Top Fifty, but we’d guess that one more win will do it.

Singles – Second Round: (1) J Tsonga def. N Mahut 6-3 6-2
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga cannot add points here; he has filled his slots for 250 point events. But he can always hope to make the French fans happy.

Singles – Second Round: (3) J Tipsarevic def. D Goffin (Q) 6-4 6-2
Janko Tipsarevic has slightly more room to add points than Tsonga, but only slightly — he needs at least a final. And he can’t climb above #9 no matter what

Singles – Second Round: (7) I Ljubicic def. K Beck 6-4 7-6(7-1)
One of the first small pieces of good news for Ivan Ljubicic this year: This may be enough to put him back in the Top Forty.

Singles – Second Round: E Roger-Vasselin def. F Cipolla 6-3 6-0
You know it’s a French tournament when low-ranked French players start appearing out of the woodwork in the quarterfinals.

Doubles – First Round: Mahut/Roger-Vasselin def. (4) Peya/Rosol 5-7 6-4 10-6 (Match TB)
