It's going to be a busy day at Bordeaux P2 for the French team. the final rounds of qualifying et the start of the main draw , several French pairs will be on the slopes, with the desire to hit hard at home. And the momentum is already underway with the great performance of Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier , who showed the way yesterday.
Touly and Ginier on the verge of the final draw
What a start for Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier in Bordeaux! Facing the third seed in the qualifiers, Mónica Gómez Rivas (3) and Sandra Bellver Fructuoso (69), the two French players delivered a very high-level performance, winning with authority 58/6 0/6.
On paper, the duel was unbalanced. But Touly (77th) and especially Ginier (138th), despite being lower-ranked, showed that ranking isn't everything. Jessica Ginier, who has rarely competed internationally, once again demonstrated that she plays above her rank. Her power, accuracy, and experience weighed heavily in this match.
They will face today in third rotation of 10am on court 3 the pair seeded 8 in the qualifying draw: Peralta / Vano . A match within their reach given the level they displayed yesterday. In case of victory, they head to the main board !
Blanqué / Bergeron and Joris / Guichard put to the test by fire
This afternoon, the two invited French pairs (wild cards) in the main draw will make their debut.
Third rotation of 14 p.m., center court :
Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron face a new pair, but not the least: Sanyo Gutierrez and Gonzalo Alfonso . A real test against two members of the world's top 35.
But the association is new, the benchmarks have yet to be established, and the results have been mixed recently. Perhaps the French have a card to play!
Next match on center court :
Maxime Joris and Dylan Guichard are up against the tournament's 4th seed: Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto . A very big pair, but there too, doubts are present The Spanish duo has been lacking confidence and results for several weeks. Why not dream of a French coup?
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 !
