Paire vs Varillas: what to expect from the Frenchman?

Paire has been utterly disappointing this season. He has lost almost every match in the tour, having scored 4 wins against 20 defeats. It is hard to say how motivated Paire is to play in Hamburg. In the first round of the tournament, Benoit was matched against Ricardas Berankis, but the opponent withdrew from the match due to a leg injury while the score in the first set was tied at 6-6. 

Varillas has been playing almost all of his matches on clay this season. Juan Pablo played one match on grass, but it went as you'd expect - in the first round of Wimbledon qualification, he lost to Zhizhen Zhang (1-6, 1-6). At the current tournament in Hamburg, Varillas has already played three matches. In the qualification rounds, he beat Jonas Forejtek (7-5, 6-2) and Sebastian Baez (6-2, 3-6, 7-6). In the main draw, the Peruvian tennis player absolutely destroyed Sumit Nagal (6-0, 6-4).
