It went faster than expected. Hugo Grenier spent little time on the Halle Vacheresse court this Friday, October 11, in the quarter-finals of the Open Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in Roanne.
The local, 147th in the world, qualified by not even playing a set and spending only 37 minutes on court. His opponent, the Spaniard David Jorda Sanchis (415th), was injured while the Frenchman was leading 5-4. Hit in the right ankle, David Jorda Sanchis was forced to retire. The player sprained his ankle on a rally as Hugo Grenier’s ball went out. He had to be accompanied to leave the playing area, struggling to walk.
