LIVE VIDEO. La marseillaise à pétanque 2022: Tierno, Quintais, Suchaud in this 4th round against the Gramondi family – France 3 Regions

Little suspense in this last clash of the 4th round with a wide victory for Marc Tierno, Philippe Quintais and Philippe, Suchaud who won 13 to 2 against the very friendly and combative Gramondi family. Experience the Mondial de la Pétanque: La marseillaise à pétanque 2022, 61st edition of the Mondial Serge Gramondi does more than resist. The one who was semi-finalist of the French championship “doublettes” in 1993, hits a very difficult ball “in the jump”. The grandfather, Georges manages to place himself well and win the point. But the problem is that Philippe Quintais remains unplayable. A point once again very close to the goal, and the Gramondi miss three successive shots. Mass is said. Final score 13 to 2 for the Tierno, Quintais and Suchaud team who achieved their goal. They qualified without spending too much time on the pitch. This sixth act offers us very high level on both sides. Serge Gramondi hits every other ball, grandfather Georges applies himself to the extra but Philippe Suchaud is ruthless, he recovers quietly to ward off the opposing danger. Antoni Gramondi gets closer to the goal and poses a problem for Philippe Quintais who plays the stopper by playing hard, and he takes it! Two more points for the Tierno team which rises to 12-2. One leads overall to the advantage of the Tierno triplet, until Philippe Suchaud misses his two shooting attempts, which is quite unusual for him. On the other hand, Philippe Quintais does not tremble and frames twice. Two more points for the Tierno team which is approaching the end. 10 to 2. The Gramondi fathers and sons are better and they cause some problems for the two “Phi-Phi” and Marc Tierno. Serge Gramondi tries his hand at shooting but he is not straight, and the ball pointed by Quintais does not move. Serge catches up with his second attempt, and dismisses the opposing ball. Quinatis and Suchaud fail to “return” and suddenly this will offer the possibility to Antoni Gramondi to add two points. The Gramondi family scores its first two points. The score is 8 to 2 for Tierno. The third lead is more balanced and it’s nice to see the Gramondi family clinging to the coattails of champions Quintais and Suchaud. Philippe Suchaud strikes perfectly twice while Serge Gramondi manages to win a point twice from almost nine meters. Philippe Quintais is intractable, and shoots at everything that moves. One more point for the favorites who lead 8 to 0. Unfortunately the step seems very high for the family triplet of the Gramondi. Georges the pointing grandfather, 87 years old, Serge, the mid-60-year-old father and Antoni, the 35-year-old son. No time to adapt to the special conditions of this Carré d’honneur France 3 for this team from Venelles. Opposite, Tierno, Quintais and Suchaud do not seem to want to drag on on the ground very exposed to the sun. The favorites score 4 extra points. The score is already 7 to 0. A one way lead is already in favor of the Tierno triplet. Quintais and Suchaud are already hot, while the stopper is moved to more than 13m, they manage to each score a point, to lead from the outset 3 to 0. When we review the history of petanque, we must have heard of one of the “monsters of ball sports”. Philippe Quintais, multiple world, European and French champion, and Philippe Suchaud, also a repeat offender with titles in all the major pétanque competitions, are once again associated with La Ciotat scorer Marc Tierno to try to ensure that the year past. Quintais and Suchaud in great shape after their victory in the 3rd stage of the Petanque Masters where they defeated the famous triplet Rocher, Lacroix and Robineau. Facing them is a team that evolves as a family, the Gramondi with grandfather Georges, son Serge, and grandson Anthony. Players from Venelles, unaccustomed to playing the Marseillaise and who will have to play without pressure to try to last in this game, which will be played in very hot weather.
