Adrian Mannarino will not see the quarter-finals in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The 35-year-old Frenchman, who had managed to get through the first round in pain after being led 6-3, 4-1, double break on Tuesday, did not see the light of day against Gijs Brouwer, 232nd in the world (ex-114th ), who won in two sets (6-3, 6-3) this Wednesday.
Mannarino, 21st in the world and number 5 seed in the Netherlands, had great difficulty returning the serve of the 28-year-old Dutch left-hander (5 aces, 81% of first serves, 81% of points won behind his first serve) , who will be opposed to a new Frenchman in the quarterfinals: Ugo Humbert (16th) or Arthur Fils (38th).
Ten defeats in twelve matches
Mannarino is going through a very difficult time. Since his quarter-final in Dallas in February, he has lost 10 of his last 12 matches, most of which were played on clay, a surface on which he hates playing.
