Match summary
Ugo Blanchet meets Mark Lajal in the Round of 32 at the Dublin Challenger on June 15 over grass. Blanchet, ranked 171st, arrives on a one-match losing streak after competing just once in the past two weeks. Lajal, ranked 166th, has played three times in that span and won his last two matches.
The pair met once before, with Lajal taking that encounter. In head-to-head terms, Lajal leads 1-0. Against common opponents this season, Lajal has gone 4-1 while Blanchet has managed 1-4, with both players losing to Arthur Fery, Ethan Quinn, and Laslo Djere but splitting results on Jaime Faria.
Blanchet's baseline game demands sustained rallies and consistency; on grass he has won 2 of 7 matches. Lajal relies on aggressive striking and has converted 12 of 19 grass outings, reflecting a preference for quick points and finishing at net. The surface will reward Lajal's pace but test whether Blanchet can shorten points and avoid extended exchanges that favor his opponent's power game.
