There is the dad and the director of the Sud Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur league. Two personalities for the same man. Fabien Jacob was inevitably under the spell when it came to commenting on the breathtaking performances of his daughter, Elsa (17 years old), graduated from Fos and qualified for the finals of the mixed doubles and women’s doubles.
In elite, in seniors, in the big ones, while she is still only junior. “She surprises me. I didn’t expect these performances to go so quickly. She breaks glass ceilings quickly. She progresses every month. She surprises me but when you see her daily investment, it’s deserved.“
“An incredible life for a 17 year old girl”
Or two to three training sessions at the Strasbourg center.where she is in good hands. She has a staff who takes good care of her. She also does the job, she pays attention to everything she eats, to her sleep. She has an incredible life for a 17 year old girl. She deserves it but she is not alone.“
Indeed, she is supported by a big guy, also still a junior: Tom Lalot-Trescarte who joined the Ditchen club this summer. A duo who complement each other wonderfully and who are ambitiously seeking the next world and European junior championships. “They have known each other for several years, they wanted to play together. This didn’t happen at the beginning, but now, for three years, they have been performing superbly“, appreciates Fabien Jacob. A duo which perfectly completes the recital of regional players who are already certain to bring home six medals from these championships.
A great harvest that can be completed by Elsa Jacob and Camille Pognante, her doubles partner, solid as ever yesterday in the semi-final (21-17, 23-21) who will have a lot to do this Sunday against the N.1 pair in France , the duo Anne Tran – Margot Lambert. To move the mountains again?
