The ETTU Cup semi finals this time around had 3 French teams in the Semi Final's. So there was a higher chance two French teams would make the final. France is proving to be very strong in Europe and the final will be a very close match up between Levallois and ASTT Chartres.

In the semi finals Levallois had club Victoria Moscow in there first leg match and defeated them 3-0. In the 2nd leg return Levallois Igor Rubtsov lost to Victoria's Kaii Yoshida by 3-1. However Levallois Chuang Chih-Yuan defeated Victoria's Kirill Shachkov by 3-1 which gave Levalois a place in the ETTU Cup Final!

Chartres semi final match up was against Pontoise Cergy. The first game, Gao Ning defeated Peter Franz by 3 games to 0. Damien Eloi beat French team mate of Pontoise Adrien Mattenet giving a 2-0 lead. Chartres Swedish player Par Garell beat Fejer Konnerth and Chartres got an amazing win earning themselves a place in the ETTU Cup final.

In fact, zhang has never played in france. Last year, he was to have come to levallois with hou yinchao, but finally he didn't, only hou came.
Hou doesn't play in this team anymore this year.
The "new" team of this year is composed of Chuang Chih-Yuan, Igor Rubstov, Emmanuel Lebesson and Simon Gauzy.

In the french championship (the pro A), Levallois recently beat Chartres (in Chartres), so I think they will win one more time !

PS : Sorry for my poor english.

Yes I am !
If Chuang and Lebesson are in good shape, Levallois would win rather easily, but Chuang did not play very in the european championships (in ECL and in ETTU cup) : he lost to shibaev, tokic, steger whereas he has a better ranking !
Rubstov is not very consistent, but he recently beat steger !
