The Open 10-12 of TC Boulogne-Billancourt saw future cracks evolve like Justine Henin, Richard Gasquet, Jelena Ostapenko or even Holger Rune. It's an unmissable event… Reserved for the “2013s”, the event is in full swing on the hard courts of the Le Gallo complex.
The chances of seeing a Blue lift the trophy on Sunday are real since there are five of them in the quarter-finals. Ranked 15, Lower Normandy Thiago Carmasol (photo) does not go unnoticed with his left-handed game and his… abundant hair. On Friday, he will face Teo Barteau (Azur Sport), who won a hell of a fight (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) against Titouan Dolci Pichon. At the top of the table, there will be another “derby” between Andrea Weill (TC Montaleigne) et Lenny Louis (TC Gradignan), both 15/1. Last tricolor in the running, Yan Pelle (St-Pierre de Chaudieu) will face the Dane Silas Agerbek Fridthjof.
Juliette Lafont and Victoire Koko resist…
In the women's table, there are only two French women left. After a success in the round of 16 against the English Milla Bray, Juliette Lafont (TC Rognac) will attack the Spaniard Anna Serafimovitch. Victory Koko (ranked 4/6), she also dismissed an Englishwoman and will face a Finnish woman: Jouhten stack. As is often the case, players from the East shine in these age categories. There remain two Czechs in the running. The Russian Lyubov Pronenko was also impressive in the round of 16 against an Englishwoman.
