Hugo Gaston vs Ugo Blanchet prediction

Hugo Gaston has failed to make a run at any tournament on clay so far this season, losing early on in both main tour and Challenger events. He suffered yet another first-round loss last week at the Geneva Open, losing to Matteo Arnaldi despite taking the first set.

He takes on fellow countryman Ugo Blanchet who enters the main draw as a qualifier. He almost exclusively competes on the Challenger Tour and picked up a title in Koblenz at the beginning of February, defeating Luca Nardi in the final. His more recent form has been less successful, as he lost in the first-round of the Zagreb Open but he will take confidence from his three successive wins in qualifying.

Despite being ranked over 100 places above his opponent, Gaston’s poor form along with Blanchet’s run through qualifying does not make the result a formality in the slightest. We can’t see either player wrapping this one up in straight sets.

Hugo Gaston vs Ugo Blanchet tip: More than 3.5 sets
