The RSL Lithuanian International 2025 will take place from the 10th to the 13th of September in Kaunas, Lithuania, gathering young rising stars and experienced circuit players under one roof.
One of the most eye-catching storylines comes from France, as new pairings and rotations in the junior ranks will be tested on the senior stage.
French rotations
European U15 Champion Mady Sow will team up with European Junior Champion Thibault Gardon, a duo that already has made great results by winning the Danish Junior Cup last month in Gentofte. That event saw France claim four out of five gold medals, with Gardon also striking gold in mixed doubles alongside Agathe Cuevas after splitting with Kathell Desmots-Chacun, his European Junior Championships-winning partner. Cuevas also won a second gold in women's doubles with Lily Gautier.
For Sow, this marks his first international tournament outside the junior circuit, as he also takes on men’s singles where he has to battle through qualification to qualify for the main draw. All of their performances will be closely watched as France continues to showcase its impressive depth of young talent.
