Analysis
A strong draw with 100 points on the line, a few highly ranked players not keen on playing more clay than they have to turn out in Greece. Kim Vollan returns (again) from injury as top seed, while the likes of David Champion and Jason Hall conqueror Ivars Emsis make up a strong field. It is a tough week for the CWLanders - Baton Rouge champion Randy Banks chose against moving slightly east to Florida and made the trip yesterday to Athens. Lucky for him he starts on Tuesday with wildcard Petros Pangalos, but second round clash with Emsis awaits. His returning needs to be on against the Latvian giant who gives up very few breaks.
Meanwhile seventh seed Matt Bre starts against struggling Czech player Václav Zeman. It is a tough match against a good player, but if he can win that a quarter final with Champion awaits.
Prediction: David Champion def. Atthaphol Sae-ul
