L'open de Vignal - P250 men is won by the pair ROMARY / BRIZZI. But she was hot!
Tournament agitated by difficult playing conditions after a rainy Saturday and very strong wind blowing on Sunday making the lobs difficult.
In the semi-final, Arnaud PIGNOLET and Mathieu PIERRE - number 1 seeds - beat Nicolas SEBERT and Franck MANNI, not without difficulty, in 2 sets, while Olivier ROMARY and Eric BRIZZI, the number 2 seeds, defeated by Frank CHOVEAU and Anthony CHOPPIN after nevertheless a first set hung.
In the final, we therefore find the first 2 seeds against each other. A final and 2 diametrically opposed sets.
The first set was undecided for a long time after 4 break points (and sets!) Including 2 to 5/4 then 2 to 6/5. After, what is more, having led 3/0, PIGNOLET and PIERRE miss the boat to finally lose 7/6 in the tie-break…
The “thread” was lost for the underdogs after these missed opportunities and the second set finally went quite quickly… 2/6 for ROMARY and BRIZZI.
The players wanted to thank “Didier EYSSERIC, Athymis Gestion and Sterren Finance, as well as Jeff CADIOU who made this tournament possible".
