They did it ! The favorites of the tournament, Yoan Boronad and Timéo Fonteny, held their rank during these French U18 Championships by winning the final with a score of 6/2 7/6. Despite strong resistance in the second set from Raphaël Guinard and Josh Schbeir, the favorite pair of the tournament did not waver. Even if Raphaël Guinard achieved an exceptional counter, up to the standards of the World Padel Tour, on a smash from Timéo Fonteny, that was not enough to reverse the situation. Guinard and his partner finally lost in straight sets.

Alain Henry, the coach of the young Club du Mas pair, reminds us: “These are players who will only be 18 in two years. This is an important year in their development. They have already beaten many top French players. And now, we are going to try to go and do some FIP tournaments to confront ourselves with other types of games and continue to progress.

They arrived with this favorite status. It was not so obvious, even more at their age, because there are boys who are 2 years older than them and who play well. And yet, they went all the way. Kudos to them. “

The French championship of Padel Junior 2023 ends under azure skies and seasonal temperatures. If the tournament held some surprises, the victories finally went to the seeded 1, both in the girls with Jade Cessou and Louise Bahurel, and in the boys with Yoan Boronad and Timéo Fonteny.
