Padel Magazine - The padel is developing in France, but its image as a nation of padel also. And we owe it, at least in large part, to Nallé Grinda who won the US Open of Padel this weekend in Miami. However, it was far from won. The US Open thus welcomed the best teams from the USA. And if that wasn't enough, professionals from Spain, Argentina and Mexico made it harder to come out on top in this US.

Seeded n ° 8, the Franco-American pair composed of Nallé Grinda and Wayne Boich succeeded a great blow by leaving the seed n ° 1, the pair Argentina Trevisan and Conselo 6-3 7-5. Some will say that it was the final before its time as the Grinda / Boich pair traveled the rest of the tournament without a hitch.

The rest of the tournament therefore went more smoothly. In the semi, the Franco-American pair beat Danny Encinas (Chile) and Pablo Beltramino (Argentina) 6 / 2-6 / 3.

Recall that Encinas had won the last stage of the US circuit with Nallé Grinda but his change of partner will be fatal.

The final therefore opposed the top # 2 composed of Pippo Gonzalez (29e  Argentine player) and Ivan Gonzalez (Madrilenian player) to the French-American pair Grinda-Boich.

We expected a tough fight, but the underdogs immediately took control of the net and led 4/0. Grinda and Boish did not allow the opposing pair to return to the game. In control he won the tournament by a score of 6 / 1-6 / 3.

The victory allows Wayne Boich to secure a place in the US national team for the World Championships at the end of the year in Palma de Mallorca.

The other information of the weekend is the announcement of the creation of 2 new clubs of padel in Miami for January 2015. An 8-track club in the heart of Downtown (Miami's most important business district in Florida) and above all a superb 13-court club in the upscale beachfront district of Coconut Grove.

Nalle Grinda returned to France from now on to take part in the French circuit and the international tournaments of Aix, Sophia and Monaco with the aim of the selection tournament for the world championships at the end of the year ... Finally, if France can participate.
