Marat Safin set up a mouthwatering last-64 clash with fellow Russian Nikolay Davydenko after coming from a set down to beat Monaco's Jean-Rene Lisnard.

"It's going to be an interesting match," said Safin, who won the last three sets for the loss of six games. "We're going to be nervous.

"We don't want to lose to each other. Let's see who will be stronger," the brooding 2002 semifinalist ominously forecast.

French No. 1 Marion Bartoli said she needed a break from tennis after suffering a demoralizing first-round exit.

"I'm just fed up. I'm going to turn off my mobile phone, turn off my TV set, forget about Roland Garros," the ninth-seeded Bartoli told reporters after her 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 defeat at the hands of Australian Casey Dellacqua.

"I'm going to try not to think about it. Go far away, very far away. Why not take a short break, some holidays?"

Bartoli, who reached the Wimbledon final last year, said she was too worn out to start her preparation for the grasscourt grand slam that brought her to prominence.

"Since the beginning of this year I've been playing and I felt tired and I thought, well, this is probably psychological, but it's five months I've been feeling this, in this state, being very tired," she said.
