Benoit Paire has qualified in the difficulty for the quarter-finals of the Marseille tournament (ATP 250) on Thursday. The Avignon (22) suffered against the thirty Vincent Millot (196th), and a qualifier who defeated Nicolas Mahut (40th) in the previous round. After pocketing the first set quietly, he experienced a slump in the second, unable to protect its setting in. Symbol of efforts to win is on his fifth match point that pair notched his qualification.
In the next round, the 22nd World face his Swiss friend Stan Wawrinka (4th), who needed three sets to dispose of Sergiy Stakhovsky (80th). The two players clashed in Chennai earlier this year (semifinals), for a quiet victory of Switzerland (6-3, 6-4).
