Going to the leader is never a gift. Even a few weeks before Christmas. For the fourth day of Pro B men, the TC Thionville Moselle was going to Nantes to face the SNUC there. Invincible since the start of the championship, Nantes have confirmed their reputation. In four matches where they left with the favors of the predictions, the premises have each time imposed in straight sets and only Sakharov fell, against an inspired Heyman. The doubles were of the same ilk and Thionville left the Atlantic coast with a fairly severe defeat (5-1) but logical.
