Corrected when entering the race in the World Tour Finals, Wednesday, by the Chinese Si Wei Zheng and Ya Qiong Huand (21-8, 21-9), the Bretillien Thom Gicquel and his teammate Delphine Delrue relaunched themselves in the race for qualification for the half- finals on Thursday.
The French pair dominated in three rounds the Malaysian duo Soon Huat Goh – Shevon Jemie Lai (N.11 in the world), who had nevertheless won the first set (16-21, 21-18, 21-17). In five confrontations against these opponents, Gicquel and Delrue now have three victories.
