In order to give himself the best chance of winning his Olympic selection, Edouard Roger-Vasselin will play Porte d’Auteuil with the Mexican Santiago Gonzalez. The transplant with Nicolas Mahut did not completely take place, and we had to act…

If it is not Top 10, the FFT will have to review its copy and put into competition the pair Sadio Doumbia-Fabien Reboul, who reached the quarter-finals in Madrid. Note that in cumulative rankings, the Toulouse residents are tied with Roger-Vasselin – Mahut…
