What a finale  P1000 FT Échirolles The 3th seed  François Authier / Basile Baud  went on to claim the title after a huge battle against the 4th seed  Lelarge / Perrin  :  4/6 6/3 7/6  after about  2h20 game .

In an incredible atmosphere, with packed stands and a roaring crowd, this final lived up to all its promises right to the end.

 Basil Baud  clearly increases in physical intensity while  François Authier  starts to make a much bigger difference offensively.

À  4/3 The third seed manages to break serve before perfectly managing their service game to level the match at one set apiece:  6/3 .

 A completely crazy third set 

The final round is a huge battle.

At this decisive moment,  Authier and Baud  They proved to be the strongest. Lyon gradually gained the upper hand, particularly physically, to finally secure this victory in a nail-biting finish.

 First P1000 for Basile Baud 

This victory is a reward for a very big tournament for the 3rd seed.

Authier and Baud notably benefited from the fall of the 2nd seed in the 8th round to open their draw and reach the final.

But we must also highlight the excellent performance of  Lelarge / Perrin , authors of a huge tournament and knocked out the number 1 seed in the semi-final.

This title marks:

  • le  François Authier's first P1000 of the season ,
  • but above all the  Basile Baud's first ever P1000 , only 18 years old.

The young Lyon player thus confirms his full potential alongside the experienced François Authier, former French number 6.

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 !
