Gilles Simon

Player details
Name Gilles Simon
DOB 27/12/1984
Nationality FRA
Pre-Tournament Odds 500/1
Became Pro 2002
Seeding 28
World Ranking 29
Won his third career title on the clay of Casablanca last month, adding to his victories in Marseille and Bucharest last year. The 23-year-old right-hander from Nice has moved steadily up the rankings but has yet to establish himself as a top-level talent, having only once been beyond the second round of a Grand Slam event. Pushed Mikhail Youzhny in a five-setter here last year and a first seeding should help his chances of reaching round three for the first time.
