Alix Collombon (30) / Araceli Martinez (27) vs Lara Arruabarrena (49) / Lorena Rufo (22)

The pair Franco-Spanish leaves with a advantage against a team looking for results. Especially since Arruabarrena and Rufo will find on the field a bitter memory : that of their semi-final lost au FIP Final of Bourg-en-Bresse two months ago (6 / 3 6 / 4).

Philémon Raichman (206) / Menno Nolten (250) vs Diego Arredondo (186) / Manuel Gayone (167)

Court 3

Around 18 p.m. (last rotation)
Thomas Vanbauce / Simon Wagner vs Pablo Pastor (194) / Samuel Rivas (447)

La chance seems to smile at Thomas Vanbauce and Simon Wagner. Not only were they drafted as lucky losers, but they find themselves faced with a accessible pair to try to reach the second round. Paul Pastor, class 194th in the world, was originally supposed to play with Julien Seurin, forfeit for medical reasons. He is now teaming up with Samuel Rivas, 16 year old Spanish boy, class 447th in the world. This unique association found itself directly integrated into the main board following new packages.
