The Tennis Club de Cahors officially launched its new season of team competitions on Sunday, September 27, featuring a full slate of matches across multiple divisions. The club’s participation spanned the Thénégal Cup, a regional team tournament, and the GAN +35 challenge, marking a return to competitive action for both men’s and senior squads.
Home Court Results for Cahors Team 4
The club hosted one match at its local facilities, where the men’s fourth team competed in the third division of the Thénégal Cup. The squad, comprised of Frédéric Camillo, Anthony Vialaret, and Nils Toulouzan, faced a challenging outing against their counterparts from Gourdon 2. The home side ultimately fell in all three singles matches and the doubles contest, resulting in a loss for the Cahors group.
Victory for Team 3 in Aveyron
Competing in the second division of the Thénégal Cup, the Cahors third team traveled to Villefranche-de-Rouergue to face local opposition. The team, represented by Julien Griel, Jérémy Laurens, and Nicolas Toulouzan, secured a 4/1 victory. The Cahors players dropped only one of the four singles matches played. The tie was clinched after a competitive double, which the team won in a super tie-break, finishing 10-7 to secure the final points.
Strategic Draw in the GAN +35 Challenge
In the regional GAN +35 competition, the Cahors squad—Mathieu Soulié, Jérémy Chedal, and Mickaël Martins—traveled to face opponents on the greenset courts in Quint-Fonsegrives. Recognizing the surface difference, as the Cahors players typically favor clay, the team held a preparatory training session on clay courts in Cahors the day before the match to build rhythm. The adjustment proved effective, as the team earned a 2/2 draw despite difficult conditions and the unfamiliar playing surface.
Camélia Lapeyre Excels in Beach Tennis
Beyond the team tennis circuit, the club noted individual success for Camélia Lapeyre. Having returned to the club for the current season, Lapeyre achieved a top-podium finish in the U16 mixed category at the French Open of Beach Tennis, held in Lamotte-Beuvron. Her performance highlights a strong start to the season for the club’s athletes across different disciplines.
