So far, so good. Four at the start, the Blues are still there after a generally controlled first round. In particular for the defending champion, Enzo Lefort, who was quick to dismiss the Chinese Jie Xu, outclassed 15 touches to 6. In the next round, Lefort will face the Briton Marcus Mepstead.
For Maxime Pauty – Taiwanese Chih Chieh Chen (15-14) – and Rafael Savin – winner of South Korean Cheolwoo Im (15-9) – the next round will be fratricidal since the two Frenchmen will face each other. Finally, out of qualifying, Alexandre Ediri confirmed against the Israeli Raz Goren, clearly beaten (15-7). It looks more difficult against the Czech Alexander Choupenich.
