These are 2 usual faces of tournaments padel locals for quite a while now. Alexis Clément and Olivier Stauffer are work colleagues at 4Padel Strasbourg but above all a formidable pair of padel in the field. They only lack a benchmark success, so why not this weekend?

“Since the end of confinement, we have trained rather well and we have found a good level,” explains Alexis; “And maybe even better than before! »He continues. It is true that many friendly games & tournaments have already taken place on the facilities of 4Padel.

Olivier has already told us that “This weekend's tournament will be raised even if no team really stands out in the standings. The seeds 1 Jonathan Gomez and Nicolas Gruber have already made top 4 in P500; Julien (Schuler) and Jean Claude (Didier) have really progressed for 1 year and the Mulhouse residents Jonathan Ortschitt and Nicolas Umbhauer who have recently been playing together are already posing big problems for the best in the region… ”

Of the 18 teams entered (including a mixed team, hoping for more the next time) on this P250 "Open", it will also be necessary to keep an eye on what will happen from Saturday in qualifying. Indeed, some tricky teams hid among the "underdogs". To name just a few: Charles Georg / Yanis Musser (# 455), Maxime Roman / Brice Ludwig (n ° 242) ou Alexandre Seyller / Christophe Henry (n ° 65). Enough to give the 4 seeds a nightmare before the Sunday morning draw!

Even though he discovered the padel about ten years ago in Italy, Vincent only devoted himself to it after too many “firsts” in tennis tournaments. Not much better at bandeja, he was retrained as referee, the only way to still be present at the time of the final! A lover of sport in general, this Norman expatriate in Alsace will try to make you live the news of the Padel in the “Great East”.
