The gentlemen will not achieve the feat of the ladies. The French team must bow to Italy in the final of the European Championships padel 2019 in Rome at the Bola Padel Club. But there is reason to be optimistic about the future of the French men's team.

France could not do much against this Italy there. With 3 professional Italian players in its ranks and other Italian players who have surprised, our French can raise their heads and be proud of the work they have done.

The captain of the French team Alexis Salles, despite this terrible defeat in this 2e match, did not hesitate to come back on this crazy week when France showed that it had undoubtedly passed a course.

Already last year in Paraguay, France had distinguished itself by achieving very strong performances by arriving 4th in the world of padel 2018. This year is the year of confirmation. “We have a wonderful group France. The players get along very well and each year our players are stronger " says the captain.

Robin Haziza and Bastien Blanqué did not hide their disappointment after the defeat against Italy. They who hoped to be able to play this 3e decisive match seemed particularly affected. The look fogged, these players showed us a very beautiful image of the team of France against an Italian public just as exceptional.

Solid stands, a beautiful central court and a superb level of play have got the better of the cold and the rain.

Yes, this European Championship of Padel 2019 in Rome will leave an indelible mark in the history of our sport. Paradoxically, it is also a week where we saw in Lisbon (where another European Championship of padel) and in Rome, players very frustrated and disappointed with their leaders for not having managed to agree on a unified competition.

We will come back to the very strong words of Fernando Belasteguin concerning "this incredible situation".
