The presence of  Thomas Leygue  et  Clement Geens  side by side at  London Premier Padel P1  surprised more than one observer.

Indeed, the Belgian is usually associated with  French number 1 Dylan Guichard with whom he is having an excellent season on the circuits  Premier Padel  et  FIP Tour So why the change of partner in London?

 Guichard is on vacation, Geens is available 

The explanation is actually very simple.

After a series of tournaments in recent months,  Dylan Guichard  chose to skip the  London P1  in order to enjoy a period of rest at  USA .

Available this week.  Clement Geens  therefore partnered with  Thomas Leygue He too is looking for a partner for this London leg of the trip.

A partnership of convenience that ultimately worked perfectly.

 A successful partnership 

For this tournament together, Leygue and Geens largely lived up to expectations.

After solid qualifying performances, they signed a  benchmark victory  in the first round of the main draw against  Alvaro Cepero  et  Agustin Torre , two players installed in the  Top 70 worldwide .

A major success, which allowed the duo to reach the  round of XNUMX where he logically bowed to  Juan Lebrón  et  Leo Augsburg , seeded 3.

Beyond the result, the two players showed a real complementarity throughout the week.

 Leygue regains confidence 

For  Thomas Leygue This tournament represents an important milestone.

After several difficult months, the Frenchman has confirmed his return to form. This victory against a pair ranked in the world's Top 70 was exactly what he needed to regain confidence and validate the work he's put in over the past few weeks.

With a  main table in Pretoria , then a  round of 32 in London The French number one is going back on holiday with renewed confidence.

 Guichard and Geens return in Madrid 

However, this association was only intended to last for the duration of a tournament.

From the resumption, at  Madrid P1 ,  Clement Geens  will naturally find  Dylan Guichard .

The Franco-Belgian duo had a particularly convincing season, with several  round of 32 on the circuit Premier Padel , an  title in FIP Silver , an  FIP Bronze title  as well as several finals on the  FIP Tour .

Their rise in the world rankings confirms the strength of their joint project.

The association  Leygue / Geens  It will therefore remain a successful interlude, born of circumstances, which allowed both players to have a very good week on the London tracks.

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 !
