Basilashvili started the qualification of the competition in Montpellier with a victory over Matteo Gigante (6-3, 7-5). Nikolaz hit four aces during the match against the Frenchman, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve. For the Georgian tennis player, this was the sixth victory this season with two losses.
Professional qualities
Basilashvili is a tennis player with a fiery character, playing in a maximally aggressive manner. He attacks in almost every rally, trying to hit at sharp angles. At the peak of his career, his winners destroyed his opponents, which allowed the Georgian to rise to the top 20 of the world rankings. However, such a game requires courage, and without it, Basilashvili sometimes loses stability.
