The stage of Head Padel Open to All In Padel Sports has met with great success. The best players of padel ladies and gentlemen were present at this great stage of the Head Padel Open.

Collombon / Ginier: An undisputed victory

Ladies' side, it was certainly the biggest women's competition at the beginning of the year. The only big missing at this big date was Laura Clergue. Otherwise everyone was present at the ladies.

The champions of France, Alix Collombon and Jessica Ginier were as usual above the competition, even if we saw them at times having to raise the level to finish parts that could last longer.

In the semifinals, the Collombon / Ginier pair were opposed to Océane Kik and Léa Godallier. A very dangerous pair. 2 attackers capable of hurting opponents. The most surprising was certainly Léa Godallier who never ceases to surprise on the right. A player who has gained in consistency and who continues to hit the ball hard. A profile quite similar to Alix Collombon, located to the right of Jessica Ginier. Victory in 2 sets for the Ginier / Collombon pair.

In the final, against the Franco-Italian pair, Kristina Clément / Cristina Dolce, Ginier / Collombon remained focused until the end despite a great opposition. Kristina Clément shows once again that she is capable of showing very beautiful things on a field. She can do just about anything. Another interesting fact: She played on the left this time around when she was only seen playing on the right for quite some time. With her, the Italian Cristina Dolce who made a strong impression on the right. Tall and powerful, she hurt opponents.

It's the pair Dolce / Clément who managed to go out in the semi-final the famous pair Sorel / Martin.

But against the champions of France in title, Dolce / Clément had to be even more regular and aggressive to worry them more. Victory in 2 sets of Ginier / Collombon.

Scatena / Moreau: it's okay!

The victory of Jérémy Scatena and Maxime Moreau was complicated to obtain. Already in the semifinals, facing the Ritz / Ferrandez pair, it was hard. Especially for Max Moreau who does not realize the best of his matches. It must be said that in front, Jérémy Ritz and Jérôme Ferrandez realize 2 very beautiful sets. Victory in 3 sets of the pair Scatena / Moreau in suffering.

The finish is relatively strange. We have the two favorite pairs of the competition in the final: Blanqué / Bergeron, the reigning French champion pair and the Jérémy Scatena / Max Moreau pair.

But they both made it to the final, failing to come up with their best padel. What about the Blanqué / Bergeron pair in the quarter-final against the Potron / Morillon pair? Victory for Blanqué / Bergeron in 3 sets but with a level far below what it is capable of offering.

In his semi-final against Salines / Le Panse, there is better, even if it is far from perfect.

In the final, the pair Blanqué / Bergeron does not fit in his game. Worse, Bastien Blanqué seems absent. He had already shown big failures in previous rounds. Maybe tiredness after a long season spent in Spain ...

Bastien Blanqué, a real cat, capable of attacking and defending like no one, was not himself in this tournament. We can not wait to see him again at 100%.

Jérémy Scatena has given him a good copy. He did the job without blinking. He has rarely been caught out in his confrontations. Max finished the competition very well with a complicated start and an impressive finish. He finally managed to win a P1000 after months of famine!

Final victory for the pair Scatena / Moreau on Blanqué / Bergeron in 2 sets.

The next big step in Head Padel Open will take place at the Fox's Center in Boulogne-sur-Mer next September.
