Sanchez - Villanueva

Hugo Grenier faced Elias Ymer yesterday and will face an easier opponent M. Echargui in the final stage. However, in the second set, the latter struggled and won against Edas Butvilas. Lithuania was considered the favorite and won the first set, leading 3-1 in the second, but eventually collapsed, as often happens in challengers. Therefore, I don't expect a three-set match today, as is usually the case with Hugo Grenier. My opinion.

As I wrote in my prediction for the overall total of these competitions, I will repeat that in my opinion, Lithuania's Edas Butvilas should have been in the semi-finals today. Moez Echargui is a weak middleweight and reaching the semi-finals of challengers is an achievement for him. However, it is true that he gathered himself in the second set yesterday and won against Edas Butvilas. Lithuania was considered the favorite, but that often happens in challengers when you make 50 unforced errors. Echargui made 19 unforced errors, which was part of the reason for Peru's defeat against Lithuania. Therefore, today in the semi-finals, I see it as an easy under for Hugo Grenier against Peru with under 23 games. In my personal opinion, there is no certainty for the Frenchman and yesterday's first set against Elias Ymer was filled with double faults and random unforced errors.
