Three tickets for the main draw, without a hitch.

Two quick sets and then it's over, seemed to be the motto of the French pairs in the qualifying rounds today in Espoo. Starting with  Marie  (555e)  / Dufour  (605th), who cruised to victory in their opening match. Facing  Iturbe  (1443e)  / Paljakka  (1923rd), the French won in two straight sets,  6 / 3 6 / 2 , to secure their ticket to the next stage.

A sequel that promises  100% French because, in fact,  From the mill  (675e)  / The sheet  (467th) also perfectly negotiated their entry into the competition against  Helde  (3244e)  / Klip  (3244th). The French team won.  6 / 3 6 / 3 , thus securing their ticket to a duel between French players, with a place in the main draw as the ultimate goal.

Finally, to conclude this beautiful day,  Coulombeau  (914e)  / Suzanna  (417th) also got their tournament off to a perfect start. The French team won  6 / 2 6 / 4  face  Lawn  (1719e)  / Sillanpää  (2322nd) for their first match, with a controlled performance from start to finish. They will be back soon  tomorrow morning  another Finnish pair,  Kampman  (1069e)  / Huttunen  (1508th), with the goal of continuing their journey and securing their place in the main draw.

Two challenging matches, but within reach for the French.

For their first match in Espoo,  Seurin  (176e)  / Bergeron  (181st), pair 10 of the tournament, will already have the opportunity to  gauge their level  facing the 5th seed,  Moragues  (120e)  / Romera  (121st). An interesting opposition after the  discomfort felt by Bergeron in Bordeaux which will allow us to see where the French pair stands.

For its part,  Sireus  (134th), associated with  De Vocht  (162nd), will begin his tournament against  betz  (156e)  Groenveld  (161st). A poster that looks particularly balanced on paper between the  pair 10 and pair 11 of the tournament with very close rankings suggesting an open duel for a place in the next round.
