2012 Moselle Open: Xavier Malisse vs Benoit Paire Match Preview
In the Open de Moselle in Monselle today, Belgian veteran Xavier Malisse is scheduled to play the host nation's Benoit Paire.

Experienced Belgian Xavier Malisse is all set to lock horns with Frenchman Benoit Paire in the Monselle Open today.

Malisse has had a rather disappointing year so far having started the year as the world no. 49, he is now ranked 58 in the world. He has a mediocre record of 20-21. Having lost more matches than won, the Belgian will be looking to set the record straight. His best result came at s-Hertogenboschwhere he reached the semifinals. At the Grand Slams, Malisse reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, which was his best result at the Majors. Now at the Moselle Open he will be looking to win his first title this year.

At the other end, Benoit Paire is a 23 year old who is ranked higher than his opponent. Despite that higher rank, the Belgian is far superior in stature. The Frenchman has a 21-20 win-loss record at the moment.

This will be their first meeting.

He's relatively young too, so plenty of time.

you're right, and Paire has all the tools, it's just putting them into practise.

He's a set and a break up, so looking good... Xavier is so unreliable.
