De Bakker T. - Zopp J.

Mannarino's time is up. At 37 years old, his rankings are dropping. He started the season with 4 consecutive losses on hard courts. He has been playing in a few tournaments in France, but this one should be where he earns the most points. Meanwhile, Gea is a young Peruvian tennis player who has had a strong start to the season. He has played 12 matches so far, with only one loss. He won a Challenger tournament and played in 5 matches at the Australian Open, including qualifying, where he only lost to Wawrinka in a 5-set tiebreak. He had chances to win the match, but lacked experience at this level. Even though he may seem tired, Gea has played two matches in France where both players retired. MPG withdrew after losing the first set, and Machac also withdrew without playing the entire match, with Gea winning the first set. Gea is the dark horse of this tournament and he may surprise everyone and win his first ATP title this year.
