Harold Mayot and Luka Pavlovic were both eliminated in their first matches at the ATP Almaty Qualifiers on October 17. This marked an early exit for both players, who had previously shown strong performances in other tournaments.

Mayot loses to Diallo in tight match

Mayot, who had reached the finals at the Rennes and Saint-Tropez Challengers in September, faced Gabriel Diallo on indoor hard court. The first set was closely contested and decided by a tie-break, which Diallo won 7-5.

Mayot's match ends in straight sets

Despite a strong first set, Mayot ultimately lost the match to Diallo in straight sets, with the final score being 7-6(5), 6-2. This result ended Mayot’s hopes of advancing further in the qualifiers.

Pavlovic faces old rival Simakin

Luka Pavlovic, ranked world number 207, faced Ilia Simakin, ranked world number 154, in a match with prior history. The two players had previously met on October 5 in the first round of the Shanghai Masters 1000 qualifiers.

Pavlovic loses to Simakin in three sets

Pavlovic had previously defeated Simakin in that earlier match but this time lost in three sets, with the final score being 6-3, 3-6, 7-6[3]. This result marked a reversal of fortune for Pavlovic in their head-to-head encounters.
