Gianessi - Heliovaara

Personally, one of the scariest tennis players, British D. Evans, looks worse and worse with each passing year, and his unique playing style may not be kind to his opponents, but his character traits are tragic. In a multitude of tournaments, especially at the Challenger level, the Brit seems to purposefully lose and rarely climbs the clay court, often looking tragic. Therefore, the label of favorite always seems deceiving to me, and in this case, we should expect his defeat. Making a lot of double faults and reacting very sensitively to all the bad things from Evans' side, it is possible to hope that his opponent, Olandas Sels, has a good chance of celebrating here. Olandas Sels is 100 places below ATP, but it doesn't say anything because this experienced player also looked very good on sandy surfaces last season with a record of 28 wins and 16 losses. Although this is his first tournament on such a surface this season, the qualification allows us to hope for good adaptation and, of course, the desire, as these tournaments are the highest level for him, while Evans is at the lower point of his career. This season, the Brit looks as usual, so it is worth expecting a loss against this Dutchman, especially on such a surface.
