Sebastian Korda and Otto Virtanen had never faced each other until the ATP Marseille. The American was the clear favorite based on ranking in that first round, but the Finn did not let the numbers dictate the outcome of the match. It was indeed a serious battle, with Virtanen taking 2 and a half hours to secure the first victory of his career against a top 30 player by 6(3)-7 7-6(4) 6-4. Impressive performance by Otto, eliminating the fifth seed in one fell swoop. On the other hand, Hamad Medjedovic also emerged victorious in his match against Raphael Collignon (6-3 6-4) and Lorenzo Sonego defeated Botic van de Zandschulp with a score of 6-1 3-6 6-3.
