The adventure ends in quarterfinal for the last two pairs with a Frenchman entered in the FIP Bronze Wood .
Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny et Dylan Guichard / Clement Geens They both stumbled against top seeds in the tournament, in a particularly tough draw.
No semi-final for France then, but all the same positive points to remember of this Dutch week.
Bergeron/Fonteny face a tougher opponent
After their impressive victory in the round of 16 against Melendez brothers , Johan Bergeron et Timeo Fonteny hoped to continue their positive momentum.
But in the quarter-finals, the bar was clearly higher.
The French were defeated by the seeded 2 , Javier Martinez et Ramiro Valenzuela , on the score of 6 / 0 7 / 5 .
A complicated match overall, with a The first set was very tough where the French pair never really managed to get into the game. On the other hand, the second set was much more interesting, with a stronger reaction and significantly better content.
They tried to hang on, but the 3rd seed managed to stay solid and close it out in two sets.
After the meeting, Johan Bergeron summarized the section quite simply:
"It's a match to forget."
A very good tournament nonetheless.
Even though this defeat inevitably leaves a bitter taste, the overall result remains... in a more positive way for Bergeron / Fonteny .
Their tournament remains marked by a A very fine victory against the Meléndez brothers , which clearly remains one of the major highlights of their week.
They also leave with some FIP points interesting, in a tournament where the level was particularly high.
We'll see them again next week at Newgiza P2 qualifications , this time with the objective of going to find a big hit on Premier Padel .
Guichard / Geens come very close to a huge upset
The same scenario, or almost, for Dylan Guichard and the Belgian Clement Geens .
Opposed to the seeded 3 , the pair Franco-Belgian lost after a much closer match against Piotto / Ortega : 6/7 7/6 6/4.
A frustrating defeat, they came very close to pulling off a major upset, because the match was decided by very little, but also logical given the solidity of their opponents, who were able to hold their own in the important moments.
Piotto / Ortega therefore qualify for the semi-finals , While Guichard / Geens leave the tournament.
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 !
