The Open de France continued on Sunday at Polo Club du Domaine de Chantilly with three thrilling matches. The prestigious tournament, which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this season, is one of the year most exciting polo tournaments thanks to quantity and quality of teams in competition.
Despite suffering a debut loss, title holders Marqués de Riscal have gone from strength to strength. They are set to face Edouard Carmignac’s Talandracas – a team that also claimed a win in their latest match – on Wednesday.
But the highlight of the day came as Nicky Sen’s Amanara took a third consecutive win in the tournament, meaning that they join Les Lions Panarea in semifinals.
