The Caen fans had hoped for another great story on Thursday evening. local darling du FIP Silver Caen, Maxime Forcinwill ultimately not see the semi-finals this year, after being eliminated in the quarter-finals against Marc Sintes Villalonga et Daniel Santigosa.
And yet, the Frenchman leaves the tournament with honorsThroughout the match, his statistics were on par with those of his opponents. While the two Spaniards were certainly considered favorites, the outcome left a slight sense of frustration. Because although Max Forcin delivered a solid and committed performance, his partner, however... the highest-ranked of the four players present, had a much more complicated encounter.
The numbers speak for themselves. From the first point to the last, the player from Cordoba never managed to find the right rhythm. Too much unforced errors, a limited impact on the game and few truly decisive situations. It took a very good Max Forcin to allow the pair to stay in touch against two diligent and consistent Spaniards.
With 19 unforced errors and only 8 winning pointsThe performance remains insufficient for a player playing on the right at this level of competition. Francisco Gil He is therefore the one who commits the most unforced errors in the match, but also the one who scores the fewest winning points.

Conversely, Max Forcin ends the match as the most impactful offensive player, with 23 winning points, the highest total of the four protagonists. A statistic that alone sums up his influence in this quarter-final. The home coach of PadelShot can leave with their heads held high, just like the pair Sintes / Santigosa, credited with a very solid performance.
Classroom 525th in the worldMax Forcin clearly did not nothing to be ashamed of in his career at FIP Silver Caen. However, Francisco Gil, 45rd player in the worldThey failed to live up to expectations in this match. A disappointment for the Caen fans and for the many spectators who hoped to continue enjoying the game live.
