The French pair formed by Jérémy Scatena and Thomas Leygue suffered a hard and unexpected defeat in their first match at the Swedish FIP Rise. Seeded number 1 in the tournament, the duo was eliminated in the round of XNUMX by the Swedish pair Daniel Appelgren and Linus Frost.

This difficult start to the season is marked by a series of defeats for both players. Despite a ray of light during the European Games, where Thomas Leygue obtained a fourth place alongside Lucile Pothier, the situation is not easy for the young French player.

As is the case in any sports career, moments of low exist and it is in these periods that it is necessary to show resilience and an iron will. Thomas shared her feelings on instagram, a testimony that says a lot about his current state of mind:

“It's probably the worst start to the season I could have had, my level of tournament play is very low and very far from my expectations. I wanted to apologize to my sponsors, my parents, my coaches and the people who support me. I could look for excuses but I can only blame myself. I promise to train harder and never give up! I will come back stronger.”

Both players have already demonstrated in the past that they are capable of overcoming setbacks. Could a summer break be an opportunity to start stronger from next September?
