We were sure to see a French woman reach the quarter-finals of this Master of Monaco and finally we will not have one but two tricolors.

Barsotti/Invernon were solid

In this opposition between the Franco-Spanish pair Martin/Fito Fernandez and the Invernon/Barsotti duo, it was the 100% tricolor pair that took over. From the start of the meeting, Élodie and Wendy take the break and distance Mélissa and Carla. The French play fair and are effective offensively. Opposite, the pair Martin/Fernandez is more unruly. Both players run after the score and give up the first set 6/3.

Formidable in defense and more impactful than their opponents, Barsotti and Invernon start the second set like the first. Quickly the tricolor pair leads 3/0. The games are hung but the French are more effective in key moments. Mélissa Martin and Carla Fito Fernandez are not far from returning to the game and save three match points. The tricolor pair remains mentally solid and ends up winning in 1h27 6 / 3 6 / 4.

A 1/4 final which promises to be boiling

The task will not be easy for our two French women. Friday they will be opposed to the seeded number 2 of the tournament composed of the Brazilian Manuela Schuck Silva and the Spanish Marina Pinacho. Meet at 15 p.m. in Beausoleil for a match that promises to be boiling between the two pairs. Last four objective for Élodie Invernon and Wendy Barsotti.
