The summary

It was almost flawless… but against Spain, France stumbled. Against one of the strongest nations in this championship, the French gave their all but the Bleues lacked a bit of success to win the most precious metal. The Girls are despite everything vice-champion of Europe and will have achieved an exemplary course throughout this event.

This morning, in doubles, the tone was set from the start. With a first point reported by the pair Contance Fouillet Maylis Lamoure, the Habs were on the right track. But there was still a long way to go. In the second foursome, Vairana Heck et Adela Cernousek pushed the Spaniards to the end to finally lose on the 18th hole.

Then comes the singles that start well with the quick and clear victory ofAdela Cernousek 6 & 5. Behind it is Vairana Heck who suffers and bows heavily 6 & 4. The tension is palpable especially when Lilac Pinthier in turn loses by the score of 2 & 1. No more choice, France must win their last two games if they want to clinch victory. Unfortunately Maylis Lamoure fails to do so and bows to Cayetana Fernandez placeholder image. Spain wins the match as the Constance Fouillet will not come to an end.

It is therefore with the money around that the French leave Portugal. They will have illuminated this championship by first winning the qualifications and then all their matches to date. This is only a postponement.

“It was super tight. The girls have nothing to be ashamed of. The Spanish have just been better. The girls are tired and sad but we must remember that we are vice champion of Europe. "

“Everything we've put in place since the start of the year, with our state of mind, has paid off even if we wanted gold. I am very proud of our group and they wore the rooster beautifully on their polo shirt. This is only a step towards other great victories. They are going to do great things in the years to come. "
