The feeling is great
Labar and Tran have won their first title as a pair, and Labar told Badminton Europe, how much it meant to him.
The pair have also revealed the aims for the future and a bright future for the new French Mixed Doubles pair.
- I feel quite great, we have taken our revenge from the Orléans final, and a very long game once again, so I am very happy with this first title with Ann, Ronan Labar told Badminton Europe.
- It was difficult to settle, we are used to playing them in training and in the final of the Orléans Masters, but I think we managed the match quite well, Anne Tran said.
- We are hoping to win some good points and then move up to the BWF 100, 200 and maybe super series, as well as moving up the world ranking, Labar revealed.
