After the cascade of eliminations in Sweden, the last hopes of the French were in London for the FIP Rise Rock Lane Chiswick.

Leygue and Cassetta stop in 1/8th

Seeded number 3, the Franco-Italian pair Leygue/Cassetta aimed to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament. After performing well on Friday, Leygue and Cassetta started as favorites against the Portuguese pair, Fazendeiro/Araujo. And Alfonso Fazendeiro and Pedro Araujo somewhat defied the odds to win in a tough battle 7 / 6 7 / 6. The Frenchman did not hide his frustration yesterday on Instagram and is now focusing on the FIP Rise of Bordeaux.

No miracle for women

Saturday four French players were still in the running, including a 100% tricolor pair. It's over for Wendy Barsotti. The French and the Swedish Baharak Soleymani, who replaced Élodie Invernon, lost in two sets against the Spanish TS5 Fernandez/Exposito 6/4 6/1.

Fiona Ligi and her Spanish teammate Élisabeth Nogueras also stop in the 1/8th final. The Franco-Spanish pair lost in two sets 6 / 3 6 / 4 against the TS3 of the Norton/Fernandes tournament.

No 1/2 final for the tricolor pair Touly / Soubrié. After achieving a strong performance in the 1/8th finals against the Spanish Niño and Maestre (win 6/7 6/3 6/3), the French faced the TS1 of the tournament. The mountain was too big for the tricolors, they lost in three sets 6/1 3/6 2/6 against Ana Varo Ramos and Laura Gomez.
