Bulgarian sisters Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva are hoping to repeat their efforts from last year’s YONEX French Open when they went within one victory of the title.

Today they played some of their best badminton in some months to defeat Puttita Supajirakul and Sapsiree Taerattanachai from Thailand, 17-21 21-10 21-17.
Clearly, they have a love affair with the Stade Pierre de Coubertin and even more so now they call Paris home.
“We know them pretty well and we knew it would be a tough match. We tried to focus all the time and I think it brought us the win today,” said Gabriela. “This is one of our favourite tournaments. We love the crowd; they support us a lot.”
