The French pair Julien Maïo and William Villeger put in a great performance at the Palais des Sports in Orléans against the Indonesians Kusumawarda/Rambitan. This is the first international tournament of this level for this young pair, who started last October. They eliminated the number 5 seed of the tournament and the world number 21. This bodes well for their Olympic qualification.
They will meet again tomorrow in the quarter finals against a pair from Chinese Taipei.
