Two teams from the Figeac Tennis Club were competing this first weekend of October in the Pierre Thénegal Cup. Taking refuge in the Espace Mitterrand, Patricia Leymat, Orlane Ghilardi and Virginie Pépin played their second meeting of the season against the players from Labastide-Saint-Pierre. In this breathtaking duel, the Tarn-et-Garonnaises, largely favorites, had to concede, against all expectations, two of the first three matches to quickly be led 2 to 1. Unfortunately, the rest was more difficult for the Figeacoises, eye-catching but overwhelmed in the decisive doubles and the last two points, snatched by the visitors, sealed the 3-2 defeat of the local players. The situation of the men’s team 1 was very different for its first day in the group stage, with the disadvantage of traveling to Cahors but in the position of favorite. Bastien Drouard, Fabien Saint-Gérard, Rémy Mahul and Paul Recoussines mastered the Cadurcian clay very well and, without trembling, did not miss the opportunity to win with a clear score of 5 to 0. great start for a very united team that we hope to find soon in the final stages!
