Top 12 (3rd day). BC Rostrenen – ASPTT Strasbourg: 4-4
They were almost there. In their room on Saturday, the Rostrenois came close to a first victory in the Top 12. Against Strasbourg, Jacques Sibéril’s protégés conceded a draw after the defeat of Xuefei Qi and Kathell Desmots-Chacun during a decisive ladies’ doubles. “It’s a huge disappointment,” lamented Martin Boiveau, the co-captain of the Costa Rican team. There, we really thought we would win because we had done things the right way, thoroughly, with a team to win. So we save the furniture, obviously, we did the job. But we really hoped to get a breath of fresh air and that didn’t happen. »
Cholet, next turning point
Led by a great Wei Loh Zhi, victorious in singles after winning in mixed doubles alongside Paul Tournefier, the Bretons have long believed they would achieve the first success in their history in the elite of French badminton. For that, we will have to wait but the opportunity will present itself in Cholet, among the red lanterns, on November 16. “We remain hyper competitive,” continues Boiveau. It’s just that it’s going to be a battle until the end. In Cholet, there will be a ban on losing. »
Nothing has been decided, therefore, and maintenance obviously remains in the sights of Noah Haase’s teammates. Especially if some reinforcements were to join them during the return group. An entirely possible hypothesis that the Bretons are, for the moment, avoiding making public…
