Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron managed to win for the second time in a row the title of French champion of padel. A very nice double despite enormous competition among the men.

This victory is certainly "one of the most beautiful"Tell us the two winners of the day Bastien Blanqué / Johan Bergeron.

We had this year, ups and downs. Challenges too. We were not necessarily the favorites in this competition, even if we knew that it was going to be played very little. And we deliver in the final a perfect performance. That's wonderful.

The pair Blanqué / Bergeron has indeed achieved a competition masterfully. Not a set left on the road. She unrolled and shows that she is well back after complicated periods.

What surprised was the aggressiveness of the champions of France. While playing against the Parisian pair deemed to be the most aggressive, she managed to change things perfectly. Even more astonishing, the Maigret / Trison pair, taken at their own game. It is certainly a first for the Parisian pair, surprised from the first points of the match.

That may be the key to their success in the final:

Do not let anything pass and take the Parisians by the throat from the first point. A tactic that has jostled them.

Yes but still it is necessary to know how to do it ... And Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron proved that they had developed new munitions.

On the Paris side, Adrien Maigret and Benjamin Tison start the first set with the handbrake. The balls are either too long or too short. And behind Blanqué / Bergeron sanctions at the slightest failure.

However, in the semi-final against Dimitri Huet and Mathieu Lapouge, Benjamin and Adrien amazed by their rhythmic play. But against Bastien and Johan, it is not enough.

We can say that the match starts in the second set for the IDF pair. She will have the break in her pocket and will get 2 set balls ... But the Lyon pair will manage to win the break thanks to an exceptional point of Johan Bergeron (with certainly a maximum of success too).

The tie-break is tense, tight ... But Blanqué / Bergeron eventually prevails. Victory 6 / 1 7 / 6.

No plan B ....

When the game is ripped, Parisians can not change their game to limit the breakage, the time it comes back. The first set went too fast for the Parisians (6 / 1). They have the hand and the talent to be able to offer several styles of play when their aggressive game does not work or is not enough.
