Some of the young up-and-coming Spaniards are on the docket in Daniel Merida and Martin Landaluce.
As well, some “old” favorites like Gaël Monfils and Grigor Dimitrov. And a struggling mid-career former top player in Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Merica beat veteran Marco Trungelliti in the final round of qualifying – and ends up facing him, in the first round when the Argentine made it as a lucky loser.
