In the ATP 250 qualifiers, Lithuanian tennis player V. Gaubas struggled in his match against A. Barrena, failing to secure any break points in the first set. His opponent, Barrena, capitalized on the situation by creating multiple break points, winning the first set with relative ease. In the second set, Gaubas faced further difficulties, falling behind early, and despite attempts to recover, he could not convert crucial break point opportunities.

Gaubas's performance was marred by mistakes, as he recorded 27 unforced errors compared to only 13 from Barrena, which highlights the contrasting levels of consistency between the two players. The match statistics reflect Gaubas's struggle to maintain composure and capitalize on his chances, ultimately leading to his defeat. Despite this setback, he managed to earn 7 ATP ranking points and $3,755 for his participation in the qualifiers, which is a consolation amidst the disappointment of elimination.

This match is not the first encounter between the two players, with Barrena previously defeating Gaubas at an ATP Challenger event in Ecuador in October 2024. The continuous rivalry indicates the level of competition Gaubas faces and the potential areas for improvement to enhance his gameplay in future tournaments.
