Many French chances among men

 Five French chances  will take to the courts of the FIP Bronze in Mol today, with several French pairs ready to try their luck in the final draw.

Vives / Guy de Chamisso from the qualifiers

Vives (210th minute) and Guy de Chamisso (248th minute) logically did their job in qualifying. Yesterday, the Parisian pair first dominated the dangerous Belgians.  Gala  (3248e)  / Coene  (3248th) (6/4 6/3), before confirming against their compatriots  Marie  (571e)  / Dufour  (685th), defeated in two sets (6-2, 6-2). Buoyed by this newfound confidence, the two French players will now try to continue their winning streak in the main draw, where they will face the pair  Gasca  (278e)  / Giuliani  (215e)

Boronad / Robert, a first success

After having  formalized their partnership for the second half of the season Yoan Boronad (174th) and Jérémy Robert (233rd) now have to get down to business. And that starts today in Mol, with their first match against the British pair.  Jones  (638e)  / Mohindra  (727th), coming from the qualifiers. A first encounter that will allow the two Frenchmen to concretely launch this new adventure and lay the first foundations of their partnership.

The other French hopes also enter the scene

Another interesting pair on paper,  Raichman (264th) / Piombo  (358th) will have a first round within their reach against the Algerian  Bilal  (571st) and to the Belgian  Berrahou  (502nd). For its part,  Yannis Muesser  (269th) will team up with the Belgian No. 2  Maxime Deloyer  (569th), who should be able to count on significant public support this week. The two men will face the British pair  Phillips  (698e)  / Lobo Wordsworth  (369th), another affordable draw. Finally,  Rafael Marquet  (502nd), associated with the Dutchman  Van Dijk  (344th), will have a much more complicated task since they will face the same challenge as in their first match  seed n ° 5 , composed of Spanish  Tur Checa  (165th) and of the German  Reca  (164e).
