A mental victory

Where will they stop? Wendy Barsotti and Élodie Invernon make a splash in Sicily. Opposed to the number two seed of the tournament, Janine Hemmes (168ᵉ FIP) and Segou Jonker (144ᵉ FIP), Wendy and Élodie once again ensured by winning in two sets.

In the first round, the French quickly lead 4/1, but see their opponents come back to match. The two pairs engage in a tough battle on Sicilian soil, each game is hotly contested, but in the “puntos de oro” it is Wendy and Élodie who make the difference. Of the 15 “puntos de oro”, the French won 13. Barsotti/Invernon won the first round 7/5.

From the start of the second set, the French made the break, but once again saw their opponents come back. Wendy and Élodie don't give up and put more intensity. This time the Dutch won't come back, Barsotti and Invernon win 7/5 6/4 and offer themselves a final in Sicily.

The final at 20:30 p.m.

The tricolor pair will be opposed to the sisters Albarran Villalon (183rd FIP) who knocked down the number 1 seed of the tournament Betz/Aitana Garcia 6/3 7/5.

“Les Barges” will play their first final on a FIP Rise this Sunday evening. After Carla Touly's victory last week alongside Spain's Alexandra Torralba, it is hoped that the tricolor pair will also create the feat.
