Stuttgart (Germany), July 14: Carlos Moya will try to rebound from this weekend's semi-final loss in Sweden when he heads a brace of fellow clay competitors at the 765,000-euro Mercedes Cup starting today.
Moya, who will open with a bye, is among five seeds from the Spanish armada making an assault on the hilltop Weissenhof Club.
The Spaniard, who skipped Wimbledon to rest after a strenuous spring where he won a long-sought title in Barcelona, is seeded to play Argentine clay sensation Guillermo Coria in the final.
Rainer Schuettler is the top German in the field on the third seeding with a possible second-round match against the winner from compatriot Maximilian Abel and Frenchman Anthony Dupuis.
Sebastien Grosjean, who put in a strong performance during the grass-court season with a final at Queen's Club and the Wimbledon semi-finals (loss to Mark Philippoussis) takes the fourth seeding.
The Florida-based Frenchman begins against one of a pair of young guns, Italian Filippo Volandri or Spain's David Sanchez.
