The French are out in force again - 3 all French teams, including Gasquet :ok: fewer big name singles players playing this than Monte Carlo - no chance of another Nadal double for a start. Interesting to see Blake and Fish are pairing up....more clay practice perhaps? Also, tough draw for Murray/Miryni :unsure:
