Things are getting better for our Frenchmen!
After a complicated beginning of the competition for the pair DELRUE / GICQUEL who conceded two consecutive defeats. Fortunately their third match ended in a victory. Our two athletes won against the Canadians HURLBURT-YU & WU. (21/12 - 21/13) They are now in third place in their group.
In women's singles, the French Qi XUEFEI had to face, during her first match, a pain in her left knee, preventing her from moving properly. Our Frenchwoman lost against the Vietnamese NGUYEN. (21/11 - 21/11 ) However, in her second match, she was able to recover and win against the Swiss Sabrina JAQUET. (21/10 - 21/14) This gain in confidence will be necessary for her to face the world number one Tai Tzu Ying in her next match.
His compatriot, Brice LEVEERDEZ, present in group M, will start the competition tomorrow by facing the Ukrainian POCHTAROV.
