A national selection?
The member of the Ciney club had to give up the mixed doubles competition, due to the withdrawal of his teammate Karla Henry. “She was injured and warned me the week before that she wouldn’t be able to compete in these championships. I was a little disappointed, but the most important thing is that Karla takes care of her,” explains the 440th player in the world (in singles), quite satisfied with his performances so far. “I am happy with my progress and the game I am putting in place. But I still experience drops in level from time to time, especially at critical moments, like during the recent tournament played in Algeria. I am not yet stable enough,” analyzes Baptiste, who will take part in an event in Ireland next week. “I would also like to be selected for the European Team Championship, scheduled for December. It will be in Germany, I think.”
The interclubs also darken his agenda. And no longer just in France.“I always try to be available for these meetings, but in the colors of another club. I was also contacted by the leaders of a German club, to whom I explained the situation. So far, I have only been able to do one with them. The next one will be at the end of December. This allows me to further increase my playing time and face high-level opponents.”
Because, at 20 years old, the Dinantais badista can still aspire to many other distinctions.
