The French Junior Arthur Gea unexpectedly extends his stay in London. The protege of Pull Benhabiles qualified this Saturday for the doubles final with his Serbian friend Bogdan Djuric. In a force 7 wind, the Franco/Serbian pair pushed the Americans aside Darwin Blanch et Roy Horovitz in two sets (6-4, 6-4). A nice consolation prize for the Avignonnais, released in the round of 16 in singles by the Englishman Henry Searle, who will play the title. Last year, Gabriel Debru et Paul Inchauspé had lost the final. Pierre-Hugues Herbert remains the last tricolor to have won on the London lawn. It was in 2009 with the German Kevin Krawietz.

“It saved my life”
A journey that he might not have been able to complete without the help of… Gilles Simon. “This year, I hadn’t found a website for lawn shoes. And there is Gilles (Simon) who sent me a message to tell me that he had left two pairs of shoes in the luggage room of the CNE. They seem to work quite well in the end. Afterwards I saw that he had left a big box with plenty of grass shoes for all the French players. And frankly, it saved my life.“Thank you Gillou! On Sunday they will face the Czech Jakub Filip and the Italian Gabriele Vulpitta. It will be on court 12.
