“We hope for a 100% Popov final,” said Christo at the start of the French championships. The contract has been fulfilled for Toma Junior and Christo, French badminton numbers 1 and 2. The two Fosséens, at home, perfectly mastered their competition. First in singles, where they, as hoped, found themselves in the final, then in doubles, where they dominated at the end of the suspense the French numbers 1 Lucas Corvée and Ronan Labar despite a gap in the second set ( 24/22, 12/21, 21/17). “It’s a title that was close to our hearts, we’re super happy,” said Christo, the youngest, after his double.
In singles, it was the younger of the two brothers, Christo, who won in three sets (16/21, 21/18, 21/17).
