Bulgarian outside hitter Vladimir Garkov was the top scorer on the court, but his team, St-Nazaire, lost as visitors to Cannes with a 1:3 set score (20:25, 25:17, 23:25, 19:25) in a match from the second round of the French League A.

Garkov finished with an impressive 21 points (1 ace and 1 block), achieved 46% attack efficiency, and recorded 47% positive reception – an indicator of his stable performance in defense.

In St-Nazaire's attack, only German national opposite hitter Philipp John managed to challenge the Bulgarian player, scoring 16 points, but their combined efforts were not enough against the more varied play of the hosts.

For Cannes, four players finished with double-digit scores, and the top scorer was Théo Mouwiel with 18 points.
