In Adelaide, Manuel played two matches within the qualification, he was stronger than Japanese Daniel, but weaker than German Hanfmann. The match against Hahnfmann lasted an hour and 32 minutes, Guinard lost it with the score 6:7, 3:6. During the game the Frenchman made three aces and six double faults, won 78% of points on first serve and 41% on second serve.

Safiullin finished last season with tournaments in Bratislava and Belgrade. In Slovakia, the Russian was the winner, outplaying Belgium's Collignon in the final. In Serbia, Roman beat Italian Fognini, but lost to Argentine Cerundolo in two sets. Overall, last season can hardly be called a successful one for Roman, who fell from 39th ranking position to 60th, although he won two Challengers. In 2025, Safiullin played one official match in Hong Kong and was weaker than Hungarian Marozhan, losing to him in two sets.

It is obvious that the tennis players are players of different levels, which is evident from the rating of their opponents. Roman had a bad start to the season, but this does not mean that Roman should lose in the opening match at the tournament in Adelaide. It should be noted that Roman has experience of beating the Frenchman, in 2021 the Russian very confidently defeated Guinard at the tournament in Rennes. We expect something similar from the upcoming game, i.e. a confident victory for Roman.
