Great start for the French engaged in this FIP Rise London. Conclusion: 4 out of 6 French people continue the adventure.
Barsotti/Invernon attacking FIP Rise London. This morning, she starts with a good first victory against the Spanish pair Alegre / Alonso, 6/2 6/1.
Change of scenery in London, since as Wendy Barsotti explains: “we lost almost 20 degrees between Sicily and London. We play under 15 degrees whereas a week ago we were over 35 degrees. So the conditions are different.”
Confirmation this afternoon with a second victory for the French pair against Sanchez / Sanz with a score of 7/6 6/0.
Moreau / Florensa, seeded n°6 of the tournament, made short work of the Hispano-English pair Butt / Mena, lucky loser: 6/1 6/0.
Finally, the French pair of gentlemen Barateau / Lacoste logically lost against the seeded No. 9, the Spanish pair Urzola / Guiral, in 2 sets 6/2 6/0.
Laura Buteau and Carina Costa enjoyed a bye and will play against the No. 2 seed, Castro / Ligoti.
