Marie-Amelie Dardaine et Clara Mansart confirm their excellent momentum. After their huge performance against the 4th seed, the French women repeated the feat in the quarter-finals of the FIP Bronze Dronten , by dominating the Spanish Jimena Díaz De La Iglesia (114th in the world) and Paula Ferrán (137th in the world), 6th seed, with a score of 6 / 3 6 / 3 .
Confirmation after the feat
After creating a sensation by eliminating Giulia Sussarello (98th in the world) and Ivet Val Lopez (126th in the world) after a hard-fought battle ( 6/2 6/7 7/6 ), the French pair were expected to deliver.
This time, Dardaine and Mansart left no room for doubt. Solid from start to finish, they controlled their quarter-final to win in two sets and secure another impressive victory.
A trend that is confirmed
This impressive run is no accident. The two Frenchwomen are riding the wave of several very convincing weeks on the FIP Tour .
They were already staying on one semi-final at the FIP Silver Bandol before reaching the FIP Silver Narbonne quarter-finals With this new semi-final in the Netherlands, they confirm their rise to power and their ability to regularly compete with higher-ranked players.
A great opportunity to reach the final
In the semi-finals, a new challenge awaits them with the seeded 5 , the Dutch women Stephanie Weterings et Janine Hemmes .
An opponent to be taken very seriously, since they have just caused a surprise by eliminating the seeded 1 of the tournament in the quarter-finals.
But given the level of play shown by Dardaine and Mansart since the start of the week, the Frenchwomen can legitimately believe in a place in the final. Another strong performance would further confirm their excellent current form and their progress on the international circuit.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
