## Entered as lucky losers, Geens and Guichard exit in the 1st round of the main draw.

The scenario already had a slight taste of a “second chance”. Defeated on Tuesday in the **last round of qualifying**, Clément Geens and Dylan Guichard were finally entered into the main draw thanks to their **lucky loser** status. A rare opportunity… but one that came with a very tough draw from the start.

## Score: 6/4 6/2 against Ruiz / Esbrí

For this first round of the main draw, the Franco-Belgian pair faced **seed No. 6**, **Álex Ruiz / Juanlu Esbrí**. The result: a defeat in straight sets, **6/4 6/2**. The first set was close, with some truly interesting sequences, but the consistency and experience of the Spaniards ultimately made the difference.

In this kind of week, there’s also a simple factor: the sequence of matches. Between qualifying and the tournament tempo, energy becomes a resource as valuable as the game itself.
