Maxime Cressy and Mattia Bellucci, both unseeded, will on Friday square off at the Open de Rennes Challenger. The winner will advance to the semifinals where a showdown with either second-seed Gregoire Barrere or sixth-seed Radu Albot awaits. Mattia Bellucci overcame the challenge of Zizou Bergs in the second round and won in straight sets. He has yet to drop a set in Rennes where he is making his debut. The Italian has now won seven matches on the trot as he arrived here after winning the Cassis Challenger. He will hope for the same fate as he continues his quest to get on a winning record. Bellucci has compiled a 24-27 record and has won both matches he has played on indoor hard courts. He is currently ranked 145th in the live ranking.

Maxime Cressy has been at his best on indoor hard courts this season. It is the only surface on which he has a winning record. He has won eight of 11 matches on indoor hard courts and also has a runner-up finish on the surface. The American is yet to drop a set in Rennes. In the last round, he defeated fourth seed Corentin Moutet by the loss of eight games. Cressy has struggled with his form this year and has lost more than double the matches he has won. He has compiled a 12-23 record but his form on indoor hard court will have him confident of making the championship match here. Cressy is also making his Rennes debut and advancing to this round has bumped him up to 119th in the live ranking.
