Alexis Salles, the men's captain, looks back on this quarter against Belgium during the European Championships of padel which take place in Marbella.

First match: Blanqué / Tison against Geens / Gala

“Balanced first set against a very good and very aggressive Belgian team in fast playing conditions. In the tie-break, Ben and Bastien are 6/1 down and have 7 points in a row. The second set is largely to their advantage, they win 6 games to 3 making a very serious match. "

Second match: Scatena / Inzerillo vs. Montoisy / Peeters

“First set to the advantage of the Belgians, Jérémy does not manage to relax and makes a lot of mistakes against a homogeneous and combative team. Jerome is playing very well being efficient on his forward transition play pattern.
At the start of the second set, Jérémy finally fully entered the match and our French players played a series of games to win 6/1.
The French break at the start of the 3rd set, so I have the feeling that nothing can stop them. It was without counting on the return to form of Laurent Montoisy and the decline in the French side. Finally we lose 6/4 in the last heat… ”

Third match: Bergeron / Maigret against Coene / Braet

“Apart from a difficult start, Adrien and Jo mastered this match imperially with a lot of serenity. We were treated to a festival of winning moves from Adrien who really had an excellent match: victory 6/3 6/3.
