Quentin Halys

Current form
Ghali made his way to the main draw of the Dubai competition through qualifying. In the selection, Kanten beat Yasutaka Uchiyama and Pavel Kotov. The Frenchman has five wins and five losses this season.
Professional qualities
Gali has a pretty good serve. He uses it perfectly, guiding the ball to the right part of the court. However, he sometimes has problems with physical fitness - Kanten is not always ready for protracted fights. The Frenchman often tries to play two or three strokes, ending the draws as quickly as possible.
