We will have an additional French pair in the main draw of the FIP Star ll Bosco in Egypt: Bastien Blanqué / Julien Seurin.
In not obvious conditions (heat, wind and fast track) which visibly prevent the players from playing well, the tricolors got away with it this morning in the last round of the previas. Indeed, the qualifying ts4 won its confrontation against one of the Daltons, Manu Vives, and his Spanish partner Maniucov. The match was played in 3 rounds with the final victory for the 100% French pair. A first great victory for the Blanqué / Seurin association before attacking the first round of the main draw at the end of the afternoon against the Spanish pair Sergi Nogueras (140 FIP) / Marcos Cordoba (90 FIP). Nogueras is also a good acquaintance of Seurin, since they sometimes train together in Spain.
For Thomas Vanbauce and Dorian de Meyer, it didn't go far. The French hoped to pass against the Italian pair Tinti / Beltrami, seeded 1 of these qualifications, but the Bordelais lack confidence and this was felt in this match lost in three sets.
Next event for the Vanbauce / De Meyer pair, a new FIP Rise in Sweden in a week. In the meantime, rest for Thomas, but not Dorian who leaves for 3 days to train with Thomas Leygue and Mati Diaz in Madrid.
