Blanchet, Grenier, Royer and Atmane set off
There will be two Franco/Australian clashes this Monday. Brilliantly came out of the qualifiers last year before having to give up against Daniil Medvedev, Terence Atmane will try to get the 2025 edition off to a good start against Matthew Dellavedova. Valentin Royer will face him Marc Polmans. The least well off of the French people in the running is Hugo Grenier. The latter will have to scrape with the American Chris Eubanksnumber 4 on the board. But the Stéphanois likes the conditions of Melbourne : last year, he made it through the qualifiers by beating John Petch in the last round… In opening, Ugo Blanchet will rub against in Czech Dalibor Svrcina. A balanced match on paper even if the Frenchman is in a bad situation.
