Imperial. During the first two interclub days in Top12, Fosséenne Yaëlle Hoyaux did the job. Two victories in singles, as many in doubles, it brought its share to the good start of the club, leader of its hen. Everything but a surprise for a player who arrived in the summer of 2020 in Provence to densify the female sector. “Last season, we only played one game in Chambly before the competition ended. It was just to taste the stuff but not be able to finish anything, she smiles. This season, it’s finally my real debut with the team. It feels good to go back to competitions. Many have followed one another, we’ve been waiting for this for a long time.“
La Fosséenne is in good shape, just like her performance with the French team in Denmark during the world team championships. So of course, the pool in which the French team found itself was insane (Japan, Indonesia …), but that did not prevent Yaëlle Hoyaux from shining.
On a more collective level, the Blue ended in beauty by winning, for the honor against Germany, a significant success against their direct competitors on the continental scene (3-2)! “Si am taking my personal experience, everything went very well. I won my two matches including the one against the Indonesian which shows the work accomplished in recent months. It shows me that I am on the right track. It gives me confidence and motivation!“, admits Yaëlle Hoyaux who works daily with Toma Popov.
76th player in the world, the Fosséenne – like Christo Popov 71st in the world – did not have the green light to join Toma Popov in Denmark and integrate the table in singles.
Win ten places
On the other hand, it will perhaps be able to show itself at the Yonex IFB in Paris (Super750) and even more surely at the SaarLorLux in Germany. This time individually on the international scene. “I was a substitute for 4, a big week ago for the French Open, There were injuries, tournaments that have been linked, I tell myself that there is a good chance that I can get into the table and if that doesn’t happen, I would definitely be in Germany. I am currently in a somewhat “rotten” classification. I can enter the tournaments below but I want to do it on the ones above. I am always a substitute 1, 2, 5 … It’s difficult to project yourself. I must quickly pass this small cap of ten places to be more serene for the competitions.”
