Friday was the remake of the world championships where France had been beaten by Sweden 3/2 in these Senior European Championships +.

However, the meeting got off to a flying start with a victory for Sébastien Corbelli and Jean-Michel Pequery, still undefeated in the competition, with a score of 6/3 6/2. The Corbelli / Pequery pair will also play the Open final at 11 a.m.

Cédric Carité and Fred Loriedo had the chance to qualify France for a dream final against Spain. After losing the first set 7/6 despite 4 set points, their reaction was immediate, since the French won the second set 6/2. Carried by their momentum, they led 3/2 with a break before experiencing a fatal moment of hesitation and finally losing 6/3. The Carité / Loriedo pair will play for 3rd place in Open at 9:30 a.m.

It then fell to Simon Boissé and Mathieu Armagnac to clinch the long-awaited qualification. Unfortunately, after a see-saw performance throughout the encounter, they ended up losing 6-1 in the third set, despite three unconverted no-ads.

For the captain, Simon Boissé, it's a disappointment:

« I had a little thought for my friends in Vegas as this meeting approached, I wanted to give them this little gift! In view of the week we had just spent, I did not see us losing! The Swedes have an atypical style of play, they are very solid in defense, they exert constant pressure, but they are also very comfortable with the walls. Our bodies have been strained, but the team is already focused on third place against Portugal ".

Third place will be decided at 3 p.m. this Saturday, against Portugal.
