Wheelchair tennis: and three for Compsois Guilhem Laget

Après 2021 et 2022, Guilhem Laget a enrichi son armoire à trophée d’un troisième titre national.

Le dimanche 30 juin, sur les courts de Honfleur, Guilhem Laget a été sacré champion de France en tennis fauteuil. Sa troisième couronne nationale en carrière.

Competing at Roland Garros, even with a wild card (invitation), even with a defeat in the 1st round, had further strengthened Guilhem Laget's status. For a few days, here is the Compsois on the cover photo on the FFT website, interview and supporting video after his title of French wheelchair tennis champion, last weekend in Honfleur (Calvados).

Champion without losing a set in the tournament

''Yes, it’s me !'', he exclaimed, this Thursday, all smiles, upon hearing the news. On the bill, the 26-year-old from Gard was also on the Normandy clay courts, seeded number 1 in this French championship and assuming his rank, without losing a set in the tournament (3 victories in the group stage, one in the final, 6-2, 6-1 against Langlois).
A third national title for Guilhem Laget after those won in 2021 and 2022.

One racket away from the Games

Not really time to breathe for (probably) the new ''n° 2 Frenchman in the next ranking (he was 3rd)'', he slips, he in the expectation of another big tournament: the Paralympic Games in Paris, at the end of August: ''In principle, it should be good for the selection, we will know that on July 15.''
If the national authorities still expressed some doubts, the title of champion of France will probably have dissipated for good.
