Le  main board  du  FIP Bronze Rivesaltes  started this Friday with the  round of 16 And if several French people responded positively, a meeting inevitably leaves some regrets.

 Hugounenq / Forcin, a real missed opportunity 

This is probably the match that will leave the most frustration on the French side.  Arthur Hugounenq / Maxime Forcin  bow to  Sanchez Del Viejo / Harris  ( 6 / 4 7 / 6 ), in a match that was nevertheless largely within their reach.

Facing two ranked players  253th and 292th in the world , there was clearly an opportunity to be seized to go and get a  eighth finals The match was close, but the French were unable to make the difference at key moments.

A painful defeat, given the opportunity in the draw.

 Courrin/Seux put up a strong fight against a top seed 

At the same time,  Nathan Courrin / Thomas Seux  put in a great performance by eliminating the 9th seed  Bogarini / Perez Martin .

Victoire  6 / 4 6 / 0 with a perfectly controlled second half. A convincing debut.

 Joris/Robert secure their status 

Even serious for  Maxime Joris / Jérémy Robert , which dominate  Dametto / Graupera  in two sets  6 / 3 6 / 4 .

A clean victory, which allows them to continue on their path without any fear.

 Peloux / Perez Le Tiec impress 

A very good performance also for the  French wild card   Johan Peloux Marchini / Pierre Perez Le Tiec , which outclass  Pérez Martínez / Bursa  ( 6 / 0 6 / 1 ).

A one-sided match, and a well-deserved qualification for the round of 16.

 The rest of the results 

In other matches:

  •  Aragon Herrera / Moragues Molto (TS5)  dominate  Mendoza / Pirovani  ( 6 / 0 6 / 0 )
  •  Olivera Palos / Varo Ramos  impose themselves in the face of  Lopez Luque / Nicocia  ( 6 / 3 6 / 4 )

 An open sequel 

Despite the disappointment for  Hugounenq / Forcin The overall assessment remains positive with several French players still in contention.

The level will rise a notch in the round of 16, but some French pairs have already shown that they have what it takes to keep going.

The matches are still to be followed  directly on Padel MagTV .

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 !
