French Number 1 Falls to Scottish Kirsty Gilmour at European Championships

The French number 1 was unable to do anything against the number 4 seed, the Scottish Kirsty Gilmour.

There are only two French women left in the women’s singles table at the European Championships. Indeed, this Thursday morning, French number 1 Xuefei Qi logically lost to the number 4 seed in the tournament, Kirsty Gilmour. The Scot won in two close sets (19-21, 16-21). For Xuefei Qi, this defeat should not call into question his selection for the next Olympic Games. Unless her compatriot Léonice Huet achieves a great performance in Saarbrück (Germany), the scene of this European Championship…

70th player in the world, the Frenchwoman eliminated the Polish Wiktoria Dabczynska on Wednesday in the 2nd round after a very solid match, won in straight sets (21/14 21/16). And as happiness never comes alone, the Chambly player then learned excellent news. This victory propels her directly into the quarter-finals since she benefits from the double withdrawal of her two potential opponents – including the German Yvonne Li, seeded number 5 – in the 8th round. There remains another Blue in the table in the person of Rosy Oktavia Pancasari, opposed this Thursday to the European number 2, the Dane Mia Blichfeldt.
