[Q] Peter Gojowczyk (GER) vs. [7] Benoit Paire (FRA)

This has been a huge week for the qualifier.  Still, Paire playing on home soil is the odds on favorite to win the match.  Paire is sporting a lumberjack beard, but if he keeps winning there should be no reason to abandon the trend until it hits Neanderthal proportion.
