It was the gentlemen who got the ball rolling this Friday for this first stage of the FFT PADEL TOUR the 4PADEL Valenciennes. Qualifying phases where there were no surprises since all the favorites have passed.
It was finally in Pool C where we were very close to seeing a little surprise since from the first match the Val / Devos pair were jostled to the point of having to pull out all the stops in the super tie-break against Derouvroy / Herman.
These become a pair more and more dangerous ... It will be necessary to watch them at the next competitions.
In Pool A, Gaba / Daverdin managed to pass following the withdrawal of the seed 1 of Pool (Gay / Thevenot). DUBOURG / OUDART achieves a perfect start to the competition by flying over its group matches. Even the Veber / Revol pair will not be able to counter the assaults of the Parisian pair.
Finally in Pool D, we did not have the right to this confrontation LECOMTE / Deregnaucourt vs. Groll / Garcia. Package of the 2 ts. Too bad because the party was announced very balanced.
Winners of the hens: Deverin / Gaba, Dubourg / Oudart, Devos / Val, Lecomte / Deregnaucourt. Start of matches tomorrow morning at 9h.
The ladies will also start tomorrow at 11H30 ... And we will have the right to very nice confrontations.

In men, the 16e will be very raised. And inevitably, we see a huge match Lyon vs Lille: Joulot / Sanchez vs. Destombes / Landsheer or Paris vs. Lyon: Dubourg / Clément vs. Authier / Lopes ...

Note the initiation padel proposed by the FFT before the start of the competition at 16 p.m.
