En  Corsica , the comings of  Cyril Hanouna  et  Steed Malbranque  au  C5 Stadium  did not go unnoticed. Accompanied by the former world top 100 player  Aitor Garcia , the host of TPMP hoped to secure a victory in the  first round  facing a pair that is also “hybrid”:  Baptiste Fabre  and the former footballer  Steed Malbranque .

Many of you followed the meeting and commented on it on social media. As promised, here are the  statistics  of the match… And they are  without appeal  : Cyril Hanouna and Steed Malbranque were  the most requested players But also  weak links  of their respective teams.

Contrary to what has sometimes been expressed online, the two men still knew  win some important points , as evidenced by their  8 winning points accumulated . But the difference was played out elsewhere:  unforced errors . Hanouna finishes the match with  26 unforced errors , against  21 for Malbranque , a gap that clearly tipped the balance in this  overall balanced meeting .

On the side of the leaders,  Aitor Garcia  failed to impose his rhythm against a  Baptiste Fabre solid , Author of  34 winning points . He is also the  MVP of the match . Garcia, for his part, only finishes with  5 unforced errors , but he never really could  unfold his game , a classic situation in this kind of confrontation where the  pairs are too unbalanced .

Le  logical final score  :  7 / 5 6 / 3  in favor of  Fabre / Malbranque , who signs a  qualification to the quarter-finals  why  P1000 A very good operation for the Bordeaux pair.
