“I stayed focused. Did not want to change my tactics ” said Myshaal SABHI.”We didn’t play good all the time but we won the important points and we were focused during the important moments especially for the final. It’s a title that makes us really happy.”

 

Fabio RAKOTOARIMANANA was self confident.

 

“We hope to win titles in singles as well. We are ready ” said RAKOTOARIMANANA.

 

On their way to the final top seeded team overcame Spain 3:1 Slovakia 3:1 and Russia by the same margin.

We were not confident but we knew that it was possible to win and we didn’t make it. At this level and during this kind of game every team can win so I don’t think they were better but they played better and we were not here mentaly ” said Adrien RASSERFOSSE.
