French team is in Taipei to compete this weekend in the qualifying round. Headed by Paul-Henri Mathieu, appointed last November after an outrageous call for tenders from FFT president Gilles Moretton.

The French coach is now called Laurent Raymond, the ex-coach… of Arthur Fils. Physical preparation is entrusted to Laurent Laffite, who still takes care of Arthur Cazaux and Luca Van Assche in parallel. Behind the French No. 1 Adrian Mannarino and in the company of the doubles' forties Nicolas Mahut and Édouard Roger-Vasselin, we find two new additions to the Blues.
