Henry's an interesting WC here. An end to the torture of those clay court challengers and a chance to rebuild some confidence on a more natural surface for him
SC and I have discussed hom several times (more because of his name, than his tennis, it's true)
But Maé is the FFT's equivalent in some ways to Henry
He hasn't won the GS of course but he's a precocious talent, age 20 now but he was the first 2006-er to ever win a M15, and was given quite a lot of help (wildcards etc) from the FFT, and hyped up, as federations do
I'm not quite sure why it hasn't really consolidated recently (he's not very tall, it might be relevant to transitioning to adults)
But it's one set all, very fairly so, and although Henry is the more offensive, front foot player, Maé is nimble and very 'adroit' as the French would say
