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 DeckerThe French women started strongly by winning the first set in the tie-break, but saw their opponents equalize in a second set also hookedThe 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 !
