The trajectories were different for the French competitors this weekend on the FIP Tour . To FIP Silver Koksijde Bastien Blanqué and Maxime Joris lost to the favorites, while Camille Sireix qualified for the semi-finals of the FIP Bronze Georgia .
Blanqué and Joris hold on for a set
Last Frenchmen still present in the men's draw in Koksijde, Bastien Blanqué and Maxime Joris had a big challenge against the number 1 seed, Juanlu Esbrí and Pablo Garcia .
The French team held their own against the favorites for much of the first set, ultimately losing it in a tie-break. The second set proved more challenging, largely dominated by the Spanish pair. 7 / 6 6 / 0 .
A logical defeat given the status of the opponents, but a close first set to remember for Blanqué and Joris, who had already had to fight hard in their first two matches of the tournament.
Sireix and De Vocht remain calm
Au FIP Bronze Georgia , Camille Sireix and Tess De Vocht continue to live up to their status as number 1 seeds.
After their convincing victory in the first round, the Franco-Dutch pair dominated Gimena Sol Perez and Alina Povidalo in the quarter-finals, 6 / 4 6 / 1 .
So far, Sireix and De Vocht haven't really been troubled in this tournament. They will face [opponent's name] in the semi-finals. Nika Sluzhiteleva and Daria Kucheriavaia , in a match that once again seems within their grasp.
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 !
