France Challenger tournament - QF rounds, and we have two interesting players here. Lithuanian player Ricardas Berankis ex ATP 50 and Gleb Sakharov in his best ranking so far 153.

Let's talk about players :

Ricardas Berankis (ATP 136) - A best Lithuanian player, but he isn't best for himslef right now, Richardo had best season few years ago when he reached TOP50 its was big achievment and he was prooud of it. Ex junior first racket didn't find himself in mens tennis for a while, but now he is good enough to win one more challenger, he does that every year. Berankis can hit good forehand, make a great return or hit decent serve, but he have one problem he isn't good at net - and every match he is loosing from 5 to 10 points at net, that always demotivates him.

Gleb Sakharov (ATP 153) - Player is not real Frenchman, but he living here for long time, i guess he became French a lot time ago. Gleb is classic challenger draw player, sometimes he is even playing in Futures, but for now he is stable at this level. He have normal serve, pretty good hits, but his tennis skills are not so perceft to reach top100 and he is not young anymorem in my opinion he still can improve, but not so much to be great and that enough for him.

In the end - Lithuanian is better player and he is going to win this match so far i know, but Gleb won't give up easily, he will take at least on set even if he aint so good player, but he is defending his home court and that must help him.

Semis at Challenger in France, where only 4 players left and they going to give all energy left for title, because all of them need that. My choice is clear, second SF and Richard from Lithuania, he was in top50 thats mean a lot, he was ex junior no.1 racket and that says a lot. Liam Broady is from UK, he is good player on futures and many challenger events, but he is ain't so special.

Let's talk about players :

Ricardas Berankis (ATP 136) - A best Lithuanian player, but he isn't best for himslef right now, Richardo had best season few years ago when he reached TOP50 its was big achievment and he was prooud of it. Ex junior first racket didn't find himself in mens tennis for a while, but now he is good enough to win one more challenger, he does that every year. Berankis can hit good forehand, make a great return or hit decent serve, but he have one problem he isn't good at net - and every match he is loosing from 5 to 10 points at net, that always demotivates him.

Liam Broady (ATP 172) - Not the best player from UK, but he is trying to do his best, he is still young and can achieve big things, but today he is simple challenger level player without a title, still in this tournament he defeated Brown and Janvier, that a interesting thing. Liam have decent serve, many good and fast hits from forehand, but he is making to many stupid mistakes.

In the end - Quality of Berankis tennis is just going up and at the moment he is very dangerous, Liam can play good too, but he will not have enough experience to compete against Lithuanian.

Second challenger tournament in France, Quimper challenger with many unkown players, many good players and Dustin Brown, who will play like he need to play! Why? Because its time for him to shine and stop making bad decisions.

Tournament is not so good, winner will get 6,190 € and 90 ranking points.

Let;s talk aout players :

Dustin Brown (ATP 127) - German tennis player who is for sure best for watching and he always tennis spectacular in many ways. Still when it come to Grand Slams he is very concentrated and motivated, without ranking he made here thru the Qualies round to first round, he made some money now he is in Challenger. Dustin have superb serve (First and second is almost 200km/h), he play very fast tennis, his hits are very fast and makes a lot of trouble for all.

The cons of his play is unstable tennis and his minds on court, he always makes wrong decision...

Jay Clark (ATP 259) - Honestly i know very little about him, he is very young and going up in ranking very quietly. He can be very dangerous, but still its Dustin Brown he will play against.

In the end - In this surface (Dustins Browns best surface), youngster have no chances against experienced and motivated Dustin, it will be good lesson for youngster
