Friday evening, Team France and Team World parted ways as good friends. Adrian Mannarino had defeated Hamad Medjedovic, while Raphaël Collignon had overcome Quentin Halys.
This Saturday, three new matches took place as part of the Bourg-de-Péage Open exhibition. Thus, at the end of this second day, it is Team France that leads in the score.

However, Team World had perfectly started the Saturday day with the success of Elena-Gabriela Ruse against Chloé Paquet (6-1, 6-2). But then, Quentin Halys dominated Hamad Medjedovic (6-3, 6-1), before a suspenseful match won by Adrian Mannarino against Stan Wawrinka (3-6, 6-1, 7-6). Team France therefore takes the lead before the last two matches.
In terms of scores, Team France leads 5-3, since each victory obtained on Saturday earned two points for the concerned team. As part of the last day of the tournament, Elina Svitolina will challenge Elena-Gabriela Ruse at 12:30 p.m., before the match of Gaël Monfils against Raphaël Collignon around 3 p.m.
