Alex Lanier met expectations during this 2024 edition of the Nantes International Challenge.
This Sunday, June 16, 2024, at the end of a perfect week (no sets conceded), the 19-year-old from Caen, seeded number 1 in the tournament, won in the final.
Two sets and 34 minutes of play were necessary to dominate the Spaniard Pablo Amian, seed number 8: 21-14, 21-13.
It was my first participation here I won by playing very good badminton, so it’s really very good,
Lanier savored. Throughout the competition, I felt that I was supported by the public, they gave me
very encouraged so thank you.
On the list, he succeeds another Frenchman, Arnaud Merklé.
