I've been completely focused on other stuff recently and have barely looked at the domestic French leagues

But, with the in-tray still ridiculously overflowing, I've got a G & T and packet of cheese and onion crisps, and thought - bugger it - it can wait .....

So, with Halep playing in the background and me sending evil vibes, I've been looking through the French tennis....

Women's

Soumeya Anane seems to be playing for Amicale Manin Sport Paris team in National Legaue 2

(she - I assume - also has another passport because she has a lovely EU flag next to her name)

Soumeya has played and lost two singles, but played and won three doubles (which ties in with her dubs profile)



Men's

In National 1, Dan Cox is playing for Ardresien as normal

On day 1, playing #1, he lost singles (to half-Brit Evan Furness) but won dubs

He then won on day 2, playing as #1, but lost in singles 

And won both singles and dubs on day 3


In National 3, Marcus is still playing for Capdenac

Didn't play on days 1 and 2, but came and held up the fort well on day 3, playing as #1, winning singles easily, and winning dubs


National 4

Brilliant to see Josh Goodall still there, playing as #1 and winning easily, twice in singles and once in doubles - bet those serves are being heard 3 miles away

Similarly Neil Pauffley is there, only on one day but playing as #1 and winning for Dracennois in singles (but losing in dubs)


there may be others too but the list is SO long..... I'll have another look later...
