In the first round of the French Open Andy will take on Romain Jouan. The little-known Frenchman has won just one tour-level match in his career and is making his debut at Roland Garros.

Andy, seeded sixth, could meet either Spaniard Oscar Hernandez or Ivo Minar of the Czech Republic in the second round, with a possible third-round tie against No. 27 seed Rainer Schuettler on the cards.

Andy is in the same quarter of the draw as No. 2 seed and three-time runner-up Roger Federer, No. 11 seed and 2008 semi-finalist Gael Monfils – a possible fourth-round opponent – and Davis Cup team mate James Blake, the No. 15 seed

Andy To Play Gicquel For 4th Round Spot
May 30, 12:12am GMT+5 by andyroddick.com

Andy will meet Frenchman Marc Gicquel on Saturday for a place in the Roland Garros fourth round.

World No. 46 Marc Gicquel is looking to reach the fourth round of a major for just the second time, having first done so at the 2006 US Open – when he lost to Roger Federer. The right-hander enjoyed a comfortable first-round win over No. 27 seed Rainer Schuettler before battling past Andreas Beck in four tight sets in the second round.

The 32-year-old Gicquel has compiled a 10-13 match record on the season, highlighted by quarter-final showings in Rotterdam and Casablanca. He also won an ATPChallenger Tour title on clay in Bordeaux earlier this month.

Check out Gicquel’s stats courtesy of the ATP World Tour:

Birthdate: 30-Mar-77
Birthplace: Tunis, Tunisia
Residence: Boulogne-Billancourt, France
Height: 6’2’’ (187 cm)
Weight: 165 lbs (75 kg)
Plays: Right-handed
Turned Pro: 1999
Coach: R. Gilbert & J. Potier
Current South African Airways ATP Ranking: 46
Best South African Airways ATP Ranking: 37 (8-Sep-08)

Andy takes a 2-0 career lead into the clash with Gicquel, having defeated the Frenchman on hard courts at the 2007 Australian Open and 2008 Los Angeles. Gicquel has a 2-13 match record against Top 10 players and has lost his past five efforts against the game’s elite.

Looking ahead to the clash, Andy said: “Obviously it’s going to be a challenging atmosphere. He’s certainly talented, certainly comfortable here. I didn’t see much of his match (on Thursday), but he moves real well. I’m sure he’s very comfortable moving on this surface. I think we’re both pretty familiar with each other’s games. We’ve played a couple times. Obviously it doesn’t get easier.”

The match will take place second on Suzanne Lenglen court on Saturday, with play beginning at 11 AM local time – 10 AM BST, 5 AM ET. Andy follows a ladies’ singles third-round match, so should take to court at around 12:30 PM local time
