A victory acquired through experience against Auradou / Vives

Thomas Leygue: “It came down to experience, we played break points better. It all came down to one detail!”

Bastien Blanque: “We wanted to play a lot down there because yesterday they spiked a lot and everything was coming out. On transitions, I had trouble getting the net. As Thomas said, we raised our level of play in the important moments.

Thomas Leygue: “We know them very well, they are friends. Nico is my former partner, I also played tournaments with Loïc. We know how to play them, I think they also know how to play us. In any case, I am very happy for them that they are in the semi-finals.”

Bastien Blanque: “Loïc redid the semi-final like last year. We will have to start the game well.”

Thomas Leygue: “It's a big help to have the public. Today I didn't feel it too much. I don't know if it's unanimous because a lot of people like to see the underdogs win.
