Unbelievable !

It's the big surprise of the day, Adrien Maigret and Jean Thomas Peyrou were eliminated by the pair Christophe Henry - Teri Groll.

THE Surprise of the day for men!

At the end of a totally crazy match, in 3 sets, the underdogs of the game managed to pull out of the game by overcoming the two favorites 7-6 / 2-6 / 7-5.

Ranked 38th and 41st in the national ranking, Henry and Groll are obviously not strangers to the padel French. We have seen Christophe alongside Spaniard Ramillete annoy many pairs in recent weeks, while Teri has always formed a solid duo with Diego Garcia. Together, they prove they are a solid pair that can create a surprise by beating a favorite team.

After reaching the semi-finals of FFT Padel Tour of the Pyramids Club, Adrien and Jean-Thomas achieve a real underperformance at the French Championships. Did this P2000 and the rhythm of the matches tire them for this weekend in Cabriès?

Many factors can come into play at the end of the year.

On the side of Groll and Henry, this victory rhymes with pride because not many people saw them beat a captain of the France team in recent years and a player who made his debut in Blue at the European Championship in Marbella.

After creating the sensation of the day, they are going to have to rest tonight because a big game awaits them tomorrow.

Indeed they will have to arm themselves with courage because their opponents for the quarter-finals will be Bastien Blanqué and Thomas Leygue, the two big winners of last weekend at the Pyramids. After a successful match this afternoon face Maxime Moreau and Jérôme Inzerillo, they are full of confidence and ready to do anything to shine during this 2021 edition of the French Championships of padel.

Will the outsiders of the day be able to recreate the surprise this Saturday against this very solid pair? In the padel, nothing is settled, we have three times the proof this evening!

Two other sensations!

Indeed, after the Groll / Henry sensation, two other pairs created the surprise tonight! If the Bordelais JT Peyrou was not at the party, his friends from the South-West stood out this evening.

The pairs Leruste / Armagnac et Cancel / Grue foiled the predictions by dominating respectively Joulot / Sanchez and Auradou / Valsot!

Victories 7/5 6/4 and 6/7 6/3 6/1 which allow these two duos to meet tomorrow in quarterfinals. It's a completely crazy evening at Cabriés with outsiders showing that they have quite the level to beat the favorites.

Tomorrow, Grué and Cancel will rub shoulders with Authier Lopes, while Leruste and Armagnac will have the difficult task of challenging the numbers 1, Benjamin Tison and Johan Bergeron!
