Rennes Challenger hard indoor - a hard surface (indoors) tournament

In the first tournament stage, 7 high-level players will meet on this surface. One of them is Schoolkate, a Lithuanian player (ATP: 165), who will face off against Czech player Gengel, Marek (ATP: 400) who is currently in poor form. The day before this match, Schoolkate already had a successful match, which he won, so he will be well-prepared for this match. He has a strong serve and after a successful US Open tournament, I expect him to continue playing well. At 25 years old, Schoolkate seems to be superior in all aspects of the game, and in their previous match in 2025, he won 2-0. With the current skill and form ratios, I believe Schoolkate will win convincingly in straight sets.
