The Antwerp player, from qualifying, was opposed to the Syrian Hazem Naw (ATP 337). Unfortunately, despite winning the first set, the 29-year-old had to bow down: 6-4, 4-6, 5-7. However, he had done the hardest part, leading 5-4 on his serve in the decisive set. In the evening, Zizou Bergs (ATP 123) met Joris De Loore (ATP 211) for a Belgian-Belgian duel on the Central. And it was finally the first, winner of the 2021 edition, who fell by the wayside after a balanced three-hour marathon! The score ? 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (4/7).
Like Geerts, Bergs served to win the match at 5-4 in the third set but was broken by De Loore who validated his victory on the fourth of his five match points in the deciding game. In the second round, De Loore will meet Frenchman Titouan Droguet (ATP 167). A fourth Belgian in the person of Alexander Blockx (ATP 313) will enter the fray this Wednesday, against Frenchman Benoît Paire (ATP 110).Tennis > Lille Challenger
