Alexis Galarneau Player Overview
Alexis Galarneau's recent record is less convincing - five wins and five losses in his last ten matches. In qualifying at the Chengdu tournament he lost to Lloyd Harris 0-2, and also fell to Sun Fajing at the previous challenger in Guangzhou. The Canadian wins slightly under half his games (49%) and sets (55%), while his average number of games played per match is even lower at just 22.4. Galarneau holds serve less frequently (79%), and a run of three straight-sets defeats suggests he often struggles to make a contest of the second set against stronger opponents.
