The round of XNUMX of  FIP Bronze Kaunas  offered varying fortunes to the French players involved.  Carla Touly (82nd) ​​and Ana Dominguez Gracia (75th)   (TS4)  continue their wonderful adventure in  qualifying for the quarter-finals , While  Steffi Merah (244th) and Melissa Martin (201st)  and  Laura Buteau (262nd) and Maria Garin (270th),  saw their journey come to an end.

 Touly/Dominguez, still strong 

In the eighth, they have  managed their match  face  Ana Cristina Sanchez Perez (132nd) and Natalia Molinilla Paniagua (151st) , imposing  7 / 5 6 / 3 .

Now it's time for the quarterfinals, where  they will cross paths with the 5th seed, Carlotta Casali (76th) and Chiara Pappacena (87th) . A key match to hope to go further in this tournament. The match is scheduled  in the second rotation at 10:15 on center court .

 Merah / Martin, a good second set but a logical defeat 

Opposed to the  seeded 1, Monica Gomez Rivas (80th) and Alba Gallardo Salvado (61st) ,  Steffi Merah and Melissa Martin  knew the task would be difficult. If they have  suffered in the first set (6/1) , they then have  offered good resistance  before bowing to the  second set tie-break (7/6) A frustrating defeat, but an encouraging match against one of the best pairs in the tournament.

 Buteau and Garin powerless against the 5th seed 

The pair  Franco-Portuguese Laura Buteau (262nd) and Maria Garin (270th)  failed to compete against  Carlotta Casali (76th) and Chiara Pappacena (87th) . After a convincing first victory  6 / 3 6 / 1  in the previous round, they lost  6 / 0 6 / 2  against a pair that was far too strong.

 Courrin and Seux facing a mountain 

The side of  masculine chart ,  Nathan Courrin (598th) and Thomas Seux   (403e)  will try today  to reach the quarter-finals , but the mission looks very difficult.  They face the tournament's top seed, Marco Cassetta (1th) and Jose Luis Gonzalez (98th). 

The match is scheduled  in second 9am rotation on court 8 A great opportunity for the French to measure themselves against a big pair.

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 !
