They wanted to do the show, it’s successful. The two brothers Toma Junior and Christo Popov fought a nice duel in the final of the French championships. A competition finally won by the eldest Toma Junior. The anomaly was repaired with a first national title in the men’s singles for the French N.1. At 24 years old. “The goal is reached. We wanted to go to the final with Christo, to have fun and to please the public. I think we made it“, confided the new champion of France on the court.
A duel for fun, for honor between the Fosséens even if the competition has necessarily taken over. We don’t deny ourselves. Christo also got his hands on the first set by going it alone 18-10. But it was without counting on the ego of the world N.25. “Tomi“scratched the points one by one to finally leave the first set on a spectacular steering wheel of the set with attacks, immense defenses.
The advertised show was there for a long rally which ended in an attack by Christo (21-19).
On his dynamic from the previous set, Toma Junior took control with authority in the second set (21-14) and offered himself a last set, as during the two previous confrontations between brothers (a victory for each side before this meeting). you in Cesson). This fratricidal clash could not end without a bang. The set was majestic, the efforts immense for the two brothers who also found themselves at 19-19. The last two points were for Toma Junior who brought back the only national title that was missing from his list. The features drawn on the podium, the two brothers were able to let their complicity speak.
The two brothers who, on the other hand, let their doubles title slip away. They were dominated by the Maio-Villeger pair (like another Provençal!) in two straight sets (14-21, 16-21). The balance sheet of the Ditchenne delegation is therefore three medals, two in silver and one in gold.
