Congrats to Jack Gibbens - our only dragon-slayer today - well, he beat a foreign, well-ranked player, it's the closest we'll get to dragon slaying on a qualis Monday.

Goodness, the French are here in force - FIVE entries.

AND there's a 25k in France this week, in Nevers, same surface....

That said, they're not a particularly strong bunch

Mathys Erhard (age 20) normally plays on clay - don't think he's played anything but clay for the last 8 months or so

Quentin Folliot has done nothing special, just played quite a few tournies, sort of journey-manning his way along, picking up a few points here and there

Thomas Deschamps is also absolutely nothing to be scared about - a 15k sort of player really

Amaury Raynel is young, age 20, but not a name that anyone in France would set much store by.

The best of the bunch, in terms of pedigree, is Lilian Marmousez. He is also 20, used to be a top-20 junior, one of the FFT's hopes, was out of action for 5 months at the start of the year (fractured two bones in his foot), says covid made him lose his momentume too, has had some trouble picking up where he was before. But certainly has the capacity to play above his ranking.
