Rinderknech forfait, Papamalamis lucky loser !
Three other French people will be in the spotlight. Arthur Rinderknech had to enter in the running against his compatriot Quentin Halysimpactful in qualifying. Finally, Rinderknech will be replaced by Théo Papamalamis, although beaten in the first round of qualifying. The four beaten in the first round were all drafted. It was therefore necessary to go back to the losers of the first round. An improbable scenario!
For his part, lucky loser, Pierre-Hugues Herbert will want to take advantage of this second chance at home. The Alsatian will have to rule out Pedro Martinez. Note that Grégoire Barrère was lucky loser at the start of the day after the package Facundo Diaz Acosta. Unfortunately, the Habs were unable to seize their chance against Lorenzo Sonego, 6-4, 7-5.
