three French in the quarter-finals!
The French are celebrating for the moment at FIP Gold in Milan, with the qualifications for the quarter-finals of the pairs Castello / Collombon, Cañellas / Godallier and Tison / Zapata.
The French are at home in Italy. Opposed to the Spanish pair Portillo (156) / Trigo (222), Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello were once again imperial. A 6/1 6/0 victory which allows them to keep as much energy as possible for the match that awaits them tomorrow against Blanco (62) / Polo (58).
Benjamin Tison and Teo Zapata were able to take full advantage of the change of scene. While they were initially to face the seed 1, JM Diaz / Moya, the French and his partner finally found themselves facing the Italian pair Bruno / Cattaneo. The locals could not do anything against the recently reformed duo: 6/2 6/2 for Benjamin and Teo who will play a shock tomorrow against the seeded 4: Martinez (44) / Zaratiegui (46)!
A little more complicated but victory in two sets all the same for Léa Godallier and Ari Cañellas who made the fun last against Pujals (64) / Petrelli (136). Indeed, while the Franco-Spanish pair were leading 6/3 5/2 they lost their focus a little before recovering to win the tie-break: 6/3 7/6 (3). Tomorrow, Léa and Ari will be opposed to Marta Caparros (60) and Ana Fernandez de Osso (52).
On the other hand, it is over for Wendy Barsotti and Elodie Invernon who lost this morning in the sixteenth against the seeded 3, Caro (43) / Cortiles (36). Not used to facing pairs of this level, the French have not been unworthy but they are logically inclined 6/3 6/3.
