On Saturday no surprise for the advanced male, the strongest respected their ranks.

The big battle came from the other tables where many teams fought until the tie-break for the categories: Male Intermediate, Male initiation, Feminine, Mixed and mixed intermediate / initiation.

After 6 games for some and 3 for others, on Saturday evening, the paella evening filled empty stomachs. But Sunday is already here and serious things are starting !!

The semi-finals are hotly contested! The pair Nicolas Trancart / Bertrand Goutires narrowly came out 7/6 6/3 against Poitiers Alexandre Lerustre and Baptiste Poey who had already made a big match against Emmanuel Tecles and Olivier Disbeaux, winners in the Super tie-break 10/8 !

On the other hand, the Boronad brothers reach the final not without difficulty too! Quarter-winners of Kévin Tournemire and Christophe Perrier! They will beat Eyal Bensimon and Etienne Dubarnet in the semi-finals with great difficulty in 2 very tight sets 7/5 6/3.
