Jérémy Chardy was eliminated in the first round of the Queen’s tournament on Tuesday. The French player, ranked 59th in the ATP, lost to Kazakh Alexander Bublik (6-4, 3-6, 6-3), 39th player in the world.
Chardy got off to a good start, leading 4-2 in the first set, before losing four straight games. He again took the lead in the next round (3-0, 4-1), without giving in this time. But, by breaking the Frenchman at 2-1 in the third set, Bublik escaped the score and was no longer joined.
In the next round, he will be opposed to Briton Jack Draper, beneficiary of a wild card and winner of the Italian Jannik Sinner (7-6 [6], 7-6 [2]), the seed n ° 3.
