TC Annecy-le-Vieux on the Brink of Historic Interclub Final Appearance
Annecy-le-Vieux, France – A stunning run through the French Pro A Interclub competition has put TC Annecy-le-Vieux (TCAV) within reach of a championship final berth, a scenario considered highly improbable just weeks ago. Led by a core group of players – Matteo Martineau, Antoine Bellier, Fabien Salle, Arthur Reymond, and Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc – the team from the 74 department has captured the attention of French tennis fans with three consecutive victories.
The Interclub competition, a cornerstone of the French tennis calendar, pits top clubs against each other in a team format, showcasing both individual talent and collective spirit. For TCAV, this year’s journey represents a potential watershed moment, transforming a promising team into national contenders. A win on Wednesday against Quimperlé would guarantee their place in the December 6th final, to be held in Grenoble. Should they face a setback, a challenging final-day showdown against the formidable TCBB - boasting players like Benjamin Bonzi, Arthur Rinderknech, Manu Guinard, and Giovanni Mpetshi – awaits.
“It’s crazy what’s happening at TCAV,” stated Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc in an interview with Tennis Actu. “We’re not hiding our dream of reaching the final and playing for the title.” The team’s success has ignited fervent support from local fans, fueling their belief that anything is possible.
The upcoming match in Quimperlé is crucial.A victory would bypass the need to overcome the significant challenge posed by TCBB and secure TCAV’s spot in the championship match. Fans can find photos and videos of the team’s progress on @TCAV,and further coverage at https://www.tennisactu.net.
