Alexander Bublik has been in a woeful run for the past few tournaments and questions are being raised about him regarding his approach and style of play. He has not made it out of the first round stage of a single tournament and this Marseille Open must be his turnaround tournament. He lost to Wawrinka at the Rotterdam Open, to Barrere at the Open Sud De France, to Davidovich Fokina at the Australian Open, to Goffin at the ASB Classic, and against Ymer at the Paris Masters all in the opening round. In the ongoing Marseille Open, he beat Krajinovic in the first-round matchup by 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
Gregoire Barrere has been one of the most consistent players for the last couple of months and he will be looking to carry this good run of form at the Rotterdam Open as well. He made it to the quarter-finals, where he lost to Rune after beating Basilashvili and Bublik in the first two matches. He lifted the Quimper Challenger beating players such as Fils, Blancaneaux, Pouille, Moreno De Alboran, and Nava. At the Australian Open and Bergamo Challenger, he got knocked out right in the first round to Etcheverry and Arnaldi respectively. At the ASB Classic, he made it to the round of 16 stage losing to countryman, Lestienne. In the ongoing Rotterdam Open, he beat De Jong in the first qualifier by 5-7, 2-6, and Halys in the second qualifier by 7-6, 6-7, 6-7. In the last match, he beat Goffin by 0-6, 6-7. In the ongoing Marseille Open, he beat Huesler in the first-round matchup by 6-3, 6-2.
