Le 13/10/2025 à 10h39 par Arthur Millot

Ugo Blanchet faced James Duckworth (138th) in the first round of the ATP 250 tournament in Almaty (Kazakhstan).

Having come through the qualifiers after his victories against Simakin (6-3, 6-7, 7-6) and Hijikata (7-5, 6-2), Ugo Blanchet was defeated in the first round by Australian Duckworth (6-3, 6-4).

After a heroic run at the US Open: a third-round defeat following three qualifying matches and a victory against a top 20 player, Mensik, the Frenchman competed a few days later at the Saint-Tropez Challenger (first-round loss to Echargui).

Before Almaty, the 26-year-old player, ranked 150th in the ATP, managed to reach the first round of the Shanghai Masters 1000, but he lost to Argentine Comesana (6-4, 6-2).

Meanwhile, his opponent of the day, Duckworth, had also come through the qualifiers and will face Canadian Gabriel Diallo (35th) in the second round.
