What a trying day it was for our French! Hanging on by a brave Uruguayan team, they were able to make the difference in the third match won brilliantly: towards the semi-finals!

Bergeron / Tison as a matter of course

As we mentioned yesterday in a previous article, since the start of these world championships, the great nations have relied on their best players. And today, our reigning French champions have done the work for their team. If they were (slightly) tickled in the first set, they never allowed the Uruguayan pair Artia / Piastri to enter the match. It is with mastery and seriousness that they played their game to win today without a hitch.

Final score: 6-1 / 6-0

Moreau / Inzerillo, cruel 3rd set.

“The tactics guys, the tactics! Don't get out of tactics ”, the words spoken by Alexis Salles at the start of the 2nd set, ultimately sum up the 1st set in which our frenchies were absent subscribers. Never able to jeopardize the opposing service, and facing a pair Ramos / Ensslin well established, the match did not announce itself under the best hospices. Yes, but it was without counting on the aggressiveness and fighting spirit of the Moreau / Inzerillo pair, who fought like lions to snatch the opportunity to play a 3rd set. A last set in which unfortunately, they did not have the necessary resources to upset their opponents and seek victory. A cruel defeat, but an exceptional match during which our Blues will have given everything.

Final score: 1-6 / 7-6 / 2-6

Blanqué and Leygue don the hero costume

A thunderous 1st set! If the specter of a French elimination lurked above the heads of our Blues, the duo Blanqué / Leygue did not let it drag on for very long. Very serious and diligent, the vice-champions of France dominated the 1st set with head and shoulders. The second set was also a demonstration, as they were able to manage the rhythm of the match and accelerate at the right time, celebrating the points with their resentment that we know. A match point, celebrated in an extraordinary way with the whole of Team France, which shows the beautiful atmosphere reigning within the selection of Alexis Salles.

Final score: 6-2 / 6-3

A victory at the end of the 3rd match, which gives an even more particular taste since this victory allows our Blues to access the semi-finals of the world championship! Those are two France-Spain that we will have the pleasure of seeing tomorrow!
