In the 1/8 finals of the challenger in Camper, we will have another French confrontation between Luc Puille and Gregoire Barrer.
Gregoire Barrere
27-year-old Barrer surprised a lot of people in the 1/16 finals yesterday with his confident victory over Jiri Legechka from the Czech Republic. Legechka did not have time to fully get used to the conditions in France after Australia, which just helped Barrera to succeed. At the same time, the game started in favor of the Czech. Jiri immediately made a break and led 2-0, but after that Gregoire immediately made a return break, and then took the game twice in a row on the opponent's serve. As a result , in the first set there was a rout with a score of 6:2. In the second game, the situation was not much better. Barrer immediately made a break and then just played from his advantage. At the very end, Gregoire made another break and eventually finished the set with a score of 6:3 in his favor.
Luca Puille
27-year-old Puille, in turn, somewhere even unexpectedly, but extremely confidently beat his compatriot Maxime Janvier in the 1/16 finals. In the first set, Puille made a break in the middle and eventually won it with a score of 6:3. There was already a little more turmoil in the second set. The tennis players exchanged lost serves, but Puille was able to quickly rebuild after the mistake, but Janvier did not succeed at all. As a result, Luke made three consecutive breaks with the score 2:1, and together with his stable serve, this led to a crushing victory in the game with a score of 6:1.
Luca Puille and Gregoire Barrere played each other twice, both meetings were in 2019 and ended in favor of Puille. The first match was on clay in Bordeaux - 6:1; 6:3. And the second meeting was already at Wimbledon – 6:1; 7:6 (7:0); 6:4.
Forecast
The match with Legechka could not fully show what to expect from Barrera at this challenger. At the same time, personal meetings show that Puille should succeed again, perhaps Luca really should win this match, the main thing is not to allow Barrera to impose his tennis.
