Yann Auradou and Maxime Forcin, seeded 1 in the table, confirm their status as favorites at the Open 4PADEL Creteil – P1000 with a great victory in the final against the pair Adrien Maigret / Nicolas Rouanet.
Against Maigret and Rouanet, the strategy is simple: orient the game as much as possible on the left-handed Nicolas, the partner of the bronze medalist at the last World Cup. On paper, this may seem simple, except that this player unknown to the general public showed a rather astonishing ability to counter with a very effective two-handed backhand that often allowed him to go from defense to attack in his diagonal .
This new left-hander could clearly be talked about if he continues in this direction!
The match was certainly played in this very tight first set, finally won 7/6 by Auradou and Forcin. In the second set, the seeded 1 first rolled, taking advantage of opponents' faults to quickly lead 5/1. But thanks to a burst of pride, Rouanet and Maigret chained two games in a row, before having the opportunity to return to 4/5 service to follow. Unfortunately for them, the favorites were able to turn around and finish at the best of times. Final score: 7/6 6/3.
In total, Maigret and Rouanet will have obtained ten break points, for only two converted. Missed opportunities that ultimately weigh heavily in the balance.
After a place of finalists at the P1000 4Padel Strasbourg, Auradou and Forcin emerge victorious from this third P1000 4Padel of the season.
