Tomorrow, other Tricolores will enter the competition
In women’s singles, Qi Xuefei (n ° 37) falls on Carolina Marin (n ° 6) to take her revenge. Last week, the Frenchwoman lost 10/21 17/21. A victory would be the second brilliant achievement of the French delegation in this month of January but the march is high, the Spaniard having won the tournament last week.
In men’s singles, Brice Leverdez (n ° 37), who had failed to pass the first round on the 1st Super 1000 Yonex Thailand Open, can hope to pass this time against Abhinav Manota, a New Zealand player ranked 113th in the world.
In women’s doubles, Anne Tran and Emilie Level directly join the 2nd round following the withdrawal of the Japanese, where they will face the winners of the match Hoo / Yap against Smith / Birch. Margot Lambert and Vimala Challenges (n ° 60) can for their part hope to pass this first round against the local Kanlaha / Povanon.
Finally, in mixed doubles, Delphine Delrue and Thom Gicquel (n ° 15), who had achieved the feat of reaching the semi-final last week, will try to take their revenge against the Indonesians Oktavianti / Jordan (n ° 4).
