The French champion, Blanc-Mesnil ST, in Pool A
In Pool A of Men’s Pro A, the TC Loon Plage finalist two years ago, exploded CT Clermont 6-0. Botic Van de Zandschulp et Constant Lestiennewere lined up. On Wednesday, the Northerners travel to Primrose. Quite a shock. On their clay court, the Bordelais conceded a draw against Annecy-le-Vieux. Rookie Roberto Bautista Agut was surprised by Matteo Martineau . Fortunately, Calvin Hemery, Mathias Bourgue (photo) et Elliot Benchetrit won their singles. But the Bordelais lost both doubles, one of which 12-10 in the super tie-break….
On Saturday, Blanc-Mesnil ST – reigning champion – was only able to bring home a draw from Thionville. Barely eliminated from Helsinki, Alexandre Müuller reported his point against Bernabe Zapata Miralles but the Mosellans, eye-catching, snatched the two doubles. The men of 93 are making their second trip to Annecy Le Vieux. The last meeting will pit Clermont against Thionville. The Picards – who aligned the Hungarian Fabian MarozsanSaturday at No. 1 – need a success.
