After more than three hours of discussions, C’Chartres TT ended up losing 1-3 against Rouen for its first match of the season, this Tuesday, October 8, at the Rosskopf complex.
Back in front of its public five months after a 2023-2024 financial year concluded in 8th place, Chartres lost 1-3 against Rouen, the reigning French vice-champion, at the opening of the ProA, this Tuesday, October 8 . And if the defeat is not serious, the CCTT can still, given the scenario, regret having only taken one point at the end of a meeting of more than three hours.
The Ecuadorian Alberto Mino, strong at the table, had nevertheless ideally launched his team by defeating Alexandre Robinot, a veteran of the house, 3-0 with authority, after having saved a 2-1 ball.

But what followed was more complicated for Emmanuel Rassouw’s gang. The Brazilian Vitor Ishiy first came across an impressive Lilian Bardet, the vice-world team champion with the Blues pulling out some brilliant shots from his racket (1-3).
Comeback against Mino
Then, in a duel of hitters from the East, punctuated by numerous unforced errors, the Hungarian Bence Majoros lost 1-3 against the Austrian Robert Gardos, the second ex-Chartrain of SPO Rouen.
Finally, Alberto Mino was the victim of a comeback against Bardet in the best match of the evening. Winner of the first two sets by playing his best ping, a combination of power and mastery, the South American did not go the distance. Against a talented opponent, he ended up breaking, not without having fought to the end with the support of the public.
The Chartrains will try to unlock their victory counter on October 28 in the Pontoise-Cergy venue. But after the 2024 vice-champion, it is the reigning French champion who will stand against him.
