Advanced Division and were seeking a fourth straight title, but were upended by Credit Agricole. Captained by Eric Tomasini, Credit Agricole delivered a balanced performance across all six courts to win 33-24 and its first title since 2009. “I think we played solid tennis as a team. We made our first serves, returned well and kept the ball in play,” said Jaime Frontera, of team Credit Agricole. “Even in the matches we lost, we kept it tight because at the end of the day, it goes by games, not total matches. So our losses were tight and our wins had wide margins.”
