Terrible scenario for the Blues in these World Championships. After winning the bronze medal in 2022, the French can only hope for a 7th place – at best – in the final ranking of the competition. Pablo Ayma's men lost 2/1 to Brazil, after being one set away from deliverance.

Johan Bergeron et Bastien Blanqué had opened the ball in the best possible way against Lucas Da Cunha and Matheus Simonato. The victory was hard to come by, since it took three sets for the Blues to grab the first point of this match against Brazil.

Final score: 6/2 4/6 6/1.

On their side, Timeo Fonteny et Thomas Leygue failed to convert the try against Lucas Campagnolo and Julio Julianoti. A score without appeal, 6 / 0 6 / 4 for the Brazilians, which pushed both teams to the decisive match.

The last French hopes rested on the shoulders of Manuel Vives et Dylan Guichard. The two French players also went to get the first set in the tie-break. That was without counting on the awakening of Lucas Bergamini and Francisco Gomes who inflicted 6/1 6/2 in the second set on the French.

New disappointment in this world cup, after the defeat, earlier in the day, of the French players against Sweden. Like their compatriots, The Blues will therefore play for 7th place in the ranking. It will happen tomorrow against Chile or the United Arab Emirates.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
