Come on aficionados, after a small voluntary absence during the WPT in Madrid due to the French Championships of padel the 4Padel of Colomiers (where we were once again able to attend the coronation, in front of an audience on fire, among the girls of Alix Collombon / Léa Godallier and among the boys of Bastien Blanqué and Thomas Leygue), here I am back to decipher this week at the WPT German Open.
On the women's side, several points were superb but, this time, I will retain one point for duration and precision. During the final at 15/30 in 1er 2 gamerd set, a point of 1min and 17 seconds with no less than 53 shots made!
And if you want a little more, admire Gemma Triay's behind-the-back volley at 5/4 in the tie-break of the second set: a treat!
For the men, it's in the final, in the 2rd set at 0/15 on Stupa's serve that we were able to see a real puntazo : double wall defense, volley / volley, slammed smash, retro, par3 and door, in short, everything was there!
For the ladies, Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria won again! So I grant you, it's not very original for several months now but opposite them, we found the Triay / Ortega pair who are very seriously starting to find the right automatisms, with visible progression tournament after tournament. When will we see a victory against the number 1s?
Among the men, there is not much exceptional to say as the mastery of the Galan / Lebron pair was total in this final. The clear score of 6/2 6/2 is proof of this. Are we in the process of rediscovering the grinta ofEl Lobo and the wisdom of Galantico ? If this is the case, the next tournaments look great hot !
After a short week of laying down, I'm waiting for you in Amsterdam from October 7 to 15, in the land of tulips!
