Nightmare day for the French at FIP ​​Rise Biella, with the elimination of six French representatives out of the eight entered at the start of the day. Alone Lucile Pothier et Louise Bahurel managed to reach the quarter-finals!

The day had already started very badly with the elimination, in the first rotation of the day, of Jerome Inzerillo and Javier Rodriguez Marquez (TS7). A defeat after a very close match against the Tur / Olivera pair, ultimately lost by the Franco-Spanish duo: 6/2 6/7 7/5.

At the same time, Marianne Vandaele et Wendy Barsotti They also experienced disappointment. After winning the first set, the French had to endure the remontada of the Spanish pair Peco / Portillo Perez (TS7). Final score: 4/6 6/3 6/0.

No more success for Man Vives et Julien Seurin who failed to find the key in the two tie-breaks of this meeting and who must have had some regrets at the end of the match against Cremona / Jorge Alfaro (TS6): 7/6 7/6.

Laurine Bergaud and Tunisian Dora Chamli were also eliminated by seed 2 Koek/Weterings. The two Dutch women did not hang around on the court and inflicted a 6 / 2 6 / 2 to the Franco-Tunisian pair.

Finally, the French presence was assured in the quarter-finals because we found a confrontation Lucile Pothier / Louise Bahurel et Marie maligo (BEL) / Amélie Détriviere. A match won after three rounds by the 100% French pair: 6/3 3/6 6/2.

Lucile and Louise will play again this evening, around 19:30 p.m., on center court. They will be opposed to the pair Koek / Weterings (TS2). A meeting to follow on the YouTube channel of the FIP :
