If the women’s final of the Aiffres tournament between Chloé Michaux and Aglena Airault, who won this tournament last year, quickly turned to the advantage of the first named, the men’s final was more indecisive.
However, from the second game, Bruno Guey, who was playing his third final of the summer after failures at Stade Niortais and Prahecq, conceded his serve in front of Romain Despoux who launched his final in the best possible way, then confirming his advantage ( 3-0).
However, Guey did not intend to give the game so easily to his opponent and came back for the first time by erasing part of this delay (3-2). But, when serving to equalize, he went completely through the game with three unforced errors. Despoux did not ask for so much to regain the margin and finally slip quietly towards winning this first round (6-3).
Bruno Guey victim of cramps
In the second set, Bruno Guey raced in the lead and increased his level of play. Sometimes put in difficulty on his engagement, he saved break points to lead and even break away by taking the service of his opponent (5-3 ). An opponent who never let go and who managed to come back (5-5). But, with experience, Bruno Guey won this second set by once again taking the service of Despoux (7-5).
There was therefore one last round to decide between the two players and, fresher, Despoux quickly broke away (3-1). However Guey continued to give the fifty or so people present nice shots to try to come back. But, the Niortais was slowed down by the appearance of cramps in the seventh game.
Courage and experience, he clung to win this game and make the fun last (5-2). But, on his serve, Romain Despoux did not miss the opportunity to finish the match to win in three sets after a final where Bruno Guey went to the end of himself.
