Gilles Simon ensures his presence in the main draw of the Sofia tournament

Beaten in the first spherical of the Bercy tournament by the American Tommy Paul at the begin of the week, Gilles Simon performed this Sunday in the qualifying remaining in Sofia (laborious, indoor). The 35-year-old Frenchman will likely be in the main draw on Monday after making brief work of Ukrainian Illya Marchenko (6-2, 6-3). On Saturday, in the first spherical, he had already simply overwhelmed the Australian Luke Saville (6-3, 6-4).
