Barrere Reached Third Round in Miami and Madrid
Like his opponent, Barrere had to wait until this year to make his Masters debut, although he was subsequently beaten in the first round of Indian Wells.
His fortunes improved in Miami, though, where he reached the third round, a feat that he emulated at the Italian Open.
The winner of a Challenger tournament in France in January, he reached his first ATP semi-final at the age of 29 on the grass of Eastbourne, helping him break into the top 50.
His ranking has drifted slightly since then, as he has been able to progress beyond the second round of any tournament he has entered.
The Frenchman was defeated in the first round of the US Open, and a similar fate befell him in Astana last week.
He was beaten in straight sets by the Austrian Jurij Rodionov.

Borges Aiming for Second Masters Win
It was only in Miami this year that Borges made his Masters debut, but he had to wait until Madrid before winning his first match at this level.
He subsequently missed Canada, and was knocked out in the first round of qualifying for Cincinnati.
Now the Portuguese number one, his rise has been propelled by his form on the Challenger tour, where he has won a number of titles in recent years, including two this year.
A natural clay court player, he had been struggling for form since leaving the surface, although he arrested the slide with a hard fought first round victory over the Kazakh wildcard, Mikhail Kukushkin, in Astana last week.
He was then beaten by Sebastian Korda in straight sets, but not before making the American work for his victory.
Barrere v Borges Prediction and Tip
Neither man has great experience of playing in Masters events, and both will need to get used to Chinese conditions, neither having played in any of the recent warm-up tournaments in the country.
The fact, though, that Barrere knows what it is like to get to the third round of such an event probably gives him the edge.
