The French, Benjamin Tison and Jessica Ginier, came within a hair's breadth of the feat against the number 2 seed in the mixed table of the European Games, the Spaniards Araceli Martinez and David Gala.

All hopes were allowed after winning the first round with the score of 6 games to 4.

In the second set, a fierce fight ensued between France and Spain, leading both teams to the tie-break. Finally, it is the Spaniards who emerge victorious from this duel, equalizing at 1 set everywhere.

The third set is tight, but it is the favorites of this confrontation, Araceli Martinez and David Gala, who win the final round 6/4.

There will certainly be some frustration after this match because the French had many break points. Indeed, they only managed to achieve 2 breaks out of 8 obtained.

For their part, the Spaniards had only 6 break points for 2 converted.

On the scoreboard, the Spaniards won 105 points against 104 points for the French.

However, for Jessica Ginier and Benjamin Tison, the adventure at the European Games does not stop there. They are still in contention in the Open Ladies and Gentlemen tournaments, the second round of which will be played at the end of the day.
