Tournament  FIP Bronze Heraklion , in Greece, is not smiling on the French at the start of the main draw. Several French players were involved this Saturday, with varying fortunes, but unfortunately one common outcome: defeat.

Bahurel and Soubrié fall at the start against the 3rd seeds

 Louise Bahurel  et  Charlotte Soubrié  had inherited a big chunk for their entry into the competition: the Spanish  Claudia Escacena Montero  et  Aitana Garcia Roman , seeded 3. The match proved complicated for the French, who lost  6 / 3 6 / 2 .

Senjean and Marcarie pass very close

On the  short 8 ,  Cassandra Senjean  et  Manon Marcarie  delivered a  marathon match  against the Belgians  Rune Vierendeels  et  Babette De Decker The French women started strongly by winning the  first set in the tie-break , but saw their opponents equalize in a  second set also hooked The third round then turned to the advantage of the Belgians. Final score:  7/6 6/7 1/6 . A match  very disputed  which inevitably leaves regrets.

Sichez and Pelt stopped in the eighth round

Winners the day before the British  Ethan Bardo  et  Oliver Hayday  ( 6 / 3 7 / 6 ),  Romain Sichez  et  Clement Pelt  hoped to continue against the formidable Spanish pair  Jaume Romera Barcelo / Marcos Gonzalez Blanco , seeded 3. But they did not find the solution and clearly lost  6 / 2 6 / 1 .

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 !
