24 and 25 January , the club  Mind Padel in Saint-Priest , near Lyon, hosted the  2nd FFT National Padel Tournament for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing , organized by the  French Tennis Federation  in collaboration with  Padel Deaf France .

For this edition, the turnout was excellent. The event brought together  32 men’s teams  et  16 women's teams ,  record participation  which confirms the structuring and growing attractiveness of deaf padel in France.

A controlled women's final

In the women's table,  Élodie Million and Céline Lavenu  imposed their rhythm throughout the final. Solid and consistent, they logically prevailed against  Laura Gill and Laurianne Noe  on the score of  6 / 4 - 6 / 1 .

Sanchez and De Kerdrel as bosses in the men's game

The men's final also lived up to expectations.  Maxime Sanchez , the leading French organization for the deaf community, associated with  Thibault De Kerdrel , confirmed his status by winning in two sets ( 6 / 3 - 6 / 3 ) in front of  Thomas Figliuzzi and Nicolas Didier , at the end of a hard-fought and controlled match.

A rapidly growing discipline

Beyond the results, this weekend in Lyon once again illustrated the  steady progression in the level of play , in both men and women. A development welcomed by  Padel Deaf France who warmly thanks  Mind Padel , host of this tournament for the  third consecutive year , as well as all the players and spectators – adults and children – present throughout the weekend.
