It is very user-friendly with barbecues set up, a relaxed atmosphere… ”, indicates the referee Dominique Kiry, who announces the presence of no less than 85 clubs.
Intouchable cuevas and desmot-chacun?
After Martin Bellot, a single and double winner in 2024, the tray is again raised, especially among women. The French n ° 1 among juniors, Agathe Cuevas (Val d’Europe Badminton), will be associated with Kathell Desmots-Chacun. Accustomed to evolving together, the two young players won the money at the French championships last February. La Quimpéroise, n ° 31 in double ladies and n ° 19 in mixed, has just won the Italy Open last weekend in mixed with its partner Thibault Gardon. “Kathell is at European level,” says Dominique Kiry. Emma Gautier and Louane Turpin (Saint-Jacques) will try to create a surprise.
Joevin Favorite in men
On the male side, Sylvain Joevin (Tours, n ° 73) is the big favorite in simple, even if Thomas Jourdren (Trégunc BC) and Vincent Toudic (FIB) will dearly sell their skin. Note, a table open in mixed, with several close pairs of each other: Emma Gautier will team up with Gurvan Le Scan (Manchots de la Rade Brest), Victor Reichert (Saint-Jacques) with Cindy Dréao (Trégunc BC) while Camille Allaire (Maure BC) will be associated with Thibault Kosior (Saint-Jacques).
