End of the adventure in Bandol for Dylan Guichard and its Portuguese partner Antonio Luque, beaten this Saturday in round of XNUMX du FIP Silver by the pair from the qualifications Alejandro Calvo Perez / Jose Pedro Montalban Martin. A defeat in two sets, 6 / 3 6 / 4, facing a duo full of confidence.

Already yesterday, Guichard and Luque had given themselves a big scare for their entry into the competition. Opposed to the French guest pair Robert / Garcia, the 12th seed had to draw on their resources to win by the skin of their teeth in three sets (6/1 6/7 7/5), after having been led 5/4 in the deciding set, on the edge of the precipice.

Facing Calvo and Montalban, it didn't happen. More precise, more aggressive in key moments, the Spaniards mastered their subject and signed a solid victory, in line with their very good run started in the qualifications.

Heading to the quarter-finals so for the two outsiders, who are stringing together performances and will now challenge the seeded 3 Alvaro Cepero / Eduardo Agustin Torre for a place in the semi-finals.

A disappointment for Guichard and Luque, who were hoping to grab a quarter.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
