Pool 1
In front of its audience, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés unlocked its victory counter during the reception of Caen! Tied after the mixed doubles and in particular the great victory of Milo DUBOIS and Sian KELLY for the promoted Caen, the Ile-de-France club did not leave any points on the way in the singles, well led by Anna TATRANOVA and Yanis GAUDIN. Guaranteed to win the match, the Saint-Maur-des-Fossés club was forced to lose in the men’s and women’s doubles. An improved defeat for Caen, and a good operation for VGA Saint-Maur, just 2 points from second place.
Undefeated and third in the standings, Mulhouse confirmed its invincibility at home against Racing Club de France, second with a match in hand. In a closed match, the two teams part with a score of parity 4-4. Well launched by the victory in the men’s and women’s doubles, RCF Badminton suffered the blow in the singles, only winning the singles of Amaury LIEVRE against Rafaël GAVOIS. If RONGET/HERIAU logically won their mixed doubles, CYBULSKI/FLEURY came across a young pair made up of Swan HARDI and Hanna IVANOVA in great form on the Mulhouse side.
In the standings, Fos-sur-Mer remains in the lead with 24 points ahead of the Racing Club de France (22 points) and Mulhouse with 21 points. Saint-Maur-des-Fossés gets closer with 20 points. Caen brings up the rear with 14 points. Arras is last with zero points.
Pool 2
Both authors of a flawless performance so far, neither team has managed to stand out in this clash between Chambly and Aire-sur-la-Lys. At home, Chambly relied on its women’s singles, Jan LOUDA who defeated Belgian Julien CARRAGGI and ELLIS/LOPEZ in mixed doubles. On the Air side, Téa MARGUERITTE performed flawlessly, alongside Lucas RENOIR and Flavie VALLET. The doubles LANE/VENDY and Harry HUANG in men’s singles bring home the other two points.
The meeting of the poorly classified between Cholet and Rostrenen will have turned to the advantage of the Bretons, on the move. Winners of the doubles at the last minute to start the match, Rostrenen was then able to count on QI Xuefei and YANG Ruiwen in the ladies’ singles, responding to Mark CALJOUW and the CORVEE/PALERMO duo. Very indecisive and played in three sets, the last two matches again fell into the hands of Rostrenen’s Bad’Club for a final victory 6 to 2.
At home, Aix-en-Provence shares the points with Strasbourg. Author of a very good start following the successes of BEGGA/BAUER and Malya HOAREAU, ASPTT Strasbourg confirms with the victory of the two men’s singles while Aix-en-Provence maintains hope in mixed doubles 1 and women’s singles 2 With their backs to the wall, AUC Badminton finally snatched the draw by winning the two doubles of LABAR/VILLEGER and AKCHURINA/DAVLETOVA.
In the ranking, Aire-sur-la-Lys and Chambly remain tied with 18 points. Aix-en-Provence (12 points) is now followed by Rostrenen with 11 points. Strasbourg is just behind (10 points) while Cholet ranks last with 7 points.
See you on November 30 for the fifth day!
