The French delegation is now just one victory away from a final at the World University Championships in Malaga. After a successful day in the quarterfinals, Louise Bahurel , Clara Mansart et Nathan Courrin will all be back on the slopes this Friday with two high-stakes semi-finals.
Bahurel and Mansart face the biggest challenge of the tournament
The first French women to enter the competition, Louise Bahurel et Clara Mansart will try to secure their place in the final of the women's draw.
The French team will face the Spanish team. Laura Lujan (44th in the world) and Agueda Perez (40th in the world), No. 1 seed in the competition.
- Time: 9:00 AM
- Court: Central Court
- displays: Louise Bahurel / Clara Mansart (4) 🇫🇷 vs Laura Lujan Rodriguez / Agueda Perez Ortiz (1) 🇪🇸
A huge challenge awaits the French women against the tournament's top favorites, but their journey so far, punctuated by convincing victories, allows them to approach this semi-final with confidence.

Courrin and Bahurel one step away from the mixed doubles final
A few hours later, Nathan Courrin et Louise Bahurel will return to the track to try and reach the final of the mixed draw.
The French, seeded number 1, will face the Spanish pair Valeria Atencia (124th in the world) / Alvaro Alone (841st in the world), No. 3 seed.
- Time: Not before 12 p.m.
- Court: Court 2

Already strong since the start of the competition, Courrin and Bahurel will try to confirm their status as favorites to secure a second French final in these championships.
Two semi-finals, two opportunities to reach the final act: Friday could allow the French delegation to secure at least one medal, or even two, before the finals scheduled for Saturday in Malaga.
