Except French players are wildly inconsistant. They can beat anyone and lose to anyone. It's probably the variety of style that they play. Remember Santoro? Nobody played like him so it can sneak up on other players. Seeded players hate drawing frenchmen in the early rounds.
Paire gets the Turkish Marcel Ilhan (ranked 84) next. I expect him to have a meltdown and lose that one.
