For the second time in a row this year, Manuel Guinard qualifies for an ATP tournament’s main draw as a lucky loser. In Barcelona earlier this season, he fell to Hugo Dellien in the first round and Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the last qualifying round. He would like to perform better this time. The 26-year-old Frenchman made his main-draw debut in an indoor ATP event last week in Gijon after advancing through the qualifying rounds and defeating an underperforming Fabio Fognini.

This week’s ATP Antwerp main draw also required a lucky loser spot for Geoffrey Blancaneaux. He overcame a set deficit against his countryman Luca Van Assche in the last qualifying round. He then broke the tiebreaker early but was unable to maintain the advantage. The former Boys’ French Open champion has struggled with physical difficulties his entire career. This year alone, he has already had five retirements, including one at the Alicante Challenger this month. The 24-year-old has performed admirably to amass 40 victories and an ITF title in these ten months despite the injuries.
