Thomas Leygue and Clément Geens have qualified for the Qatar Major Round of 16 by signing a great victory against Mario Huete and left-handed Denis Perino. A success in two sets, 7 / 6 6 / 2, which confirms the excellent dynamics of the pair Franco-Belgian, now on three consecutive victories in this first Major of the season.

In playing conditions made complex by the Qatari night, Leygue and Geens knew how to manage the elements perfectly, and especially darkness, for counter the attacks of the powerful Huete. Opponents are likely to remember for a long time millimeter-precise candles from the Frenchman, particularly effective against the Spaniard's offensive play.
