Belgium continues its remarkable run in this Euro Padel Cup – Final 8. By dominating the Netherlands (2-0), Thomas Deschamps' players validated their qualification for the semi-finals, where they will meet France, victorious over Italy with a score of 2-1.

Thanks to their first place in Group B, France avoided tournament favorites Spain. This position allows them to approach the next round with confidence, backed by a particularly cohesive and high-performing group. For Alix Collombon and Jessica Ginier, this semi-final will also have a special flavor: it will offer the opportunity to take revenge on Belgium, who beat them at Euro 2024 in Sardinia. A defeat that was inconsequential at the time, but one that will remain in the memory.

Facing them, Belgium arrives with a strong case to make. Led by a new generation on the rise, the Belgian players confirmed their progress by successively beating Portugal and the Netherlands. Their qualification illustrates the hard work and progress of a team now capable of competing with the continent's best nations.

This semi-final between France and Belgium promises an interesting clash between two teams with very different profiles: one established among the great European nations, the other driven by a spirit of revenge.
