The French did it: they dominated Paraguay two wins to one and clinch first place in Group D.
After inaugural success of Benjamin Tison and Adrien Maigret, winners of Benitez and Miltos in two tight sets (7/6 6/4), France could be reassured from the second match. But Johan Bergeron and Jérémy Scatena lost, also 7/6 – 6/4, against Abud / Castañeyra.
The responsibility for concluding then fell to the recent champions of France Bastien Blanqué and Thomas Leygue. Opposed to Adorno / Fernandez, the tricolor delivered a solid match, winning 6/3 6/2 and avoiding France an unplayable quarter-final against Argentina.
This success echoes the first place of the French, who took advantage of the defeat of Sweden against Brazil to rank first in their pool.
See you tomorrow at 19 p.m. (16 p.m. in France) for the second face-off of the day after the ladies: France vs Belgium.
