Ce  Saturday , the FIP Bronze in Manila had its share of surprises, starting with  the elimination of Carla Touly and Ana Dominguez  in the quarter-finals. Finalists last week at FIP ​​Bronze Kaunas and  seeded 1  This week, the French and Spanish teams lost to  Carla Fernandez Gonzalez and Nerea Guerra Santana  (TS5) on the score of  6 / 2 6 / 3 .

A  obvious disappointment  for the Franco-Spanish duo, who had shown great promise in recent weeks. They never managed to reverse the trend against a Spanish pair that was very solid on their return games.

 Blanqué and Bergeron tighten the game in the money time 

In the men's competition, the day was more cheerful for  Bastien Blanqué  et  Johan Bergeron , who validated their ticket for the semi-finals after a victory in three sets ( 6/2 6/7 6/4 ) in front of  Arthur Hugounenq  and his Spanish partner  Sergi Guimet Bigas . A match  hooked , where the outsiders caused a lot of problems for the French.

After a good start, the “BB” saw their opponents equalize by winning the second set in the tie-break. But thanks to their  experience and their solidity , they were able to make the difference in the third set to earn themselves a place in the last four.

 A great opportunity for a new title 

 Blanqué and Bergeron will play their semi-final tomorrow, Sunday. , From  4 a.m. (French time)  on the  short 4 , in front of the  seeded 10 ,  Pol Alsina and Edu Altimires Ros . A match within their reach, especially since the  seed 1 ( Pedro Araujo /Antonio Luque)  from the table was eliminated  in quarter by  Trillas Garcia and Aymerich Bellmunt .

With  a table now open , the French have a real  playing card to go for a second consecutive title on the FIP circuit .

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 !
