Le  FIP Bronze from Rivesaltes  launched his  qualifications  Wednesday saw an interesting first day for the French team. While the bulk of the qualifying rounds are expected on Thursday, several French pairs were already on the pistes, hoping to extend their run in the competition.

And overall, the results are quite good.

 Pérez Martínez / Bursa stop Bernard / Baud 

On  Central track ,  Quentin Bernard  et  Basil Baud  put up a real fight against the Spanish  Nil Pérez Martínez  et  Sergio Bursa but eventually succumbed in three sets:  5/7 7/5 6/3 .

The French had started their match well by taking the first set, before seeing the Spanish pair gain momentum and reverse the dynamic.

 Potel/Etienne prevail against Docampo Fuster 

Still on the  Central track , a fine performance from  Lucas Potel  et  Natan Etienne who dominated the Spanish  Marc Docampo Fuster / Dani Docampo Fuster  in two sets:  7 / 5 6 / 3 .

A solid victory for the French pair, who therefore continue their journey in these qualifications.

 Barthe / Demontis too strong for the French wild-card 

On  Track 3 – Cupra , the French pair  Théo Barthe / Aaron Demontis  did not tremble in the face of the beneficiaries of the  wild card ,  Benjamin Lespes / S. Pasanau , with a clear success:  6 / 4 6 / 2 .

A controlled start for Barthe and Demontis, who will be ones to watch in the rest of these qualifiers.

 Cancel / Dufour unfold in the Franco-French duel 

Another 100% French poster for this first rotation:  Ludovic Cancel / Benjamin Dufour  have largely gained the upper hand over  Arthur Aureglia Cauneille / Florian Valsot  with a swift victory  6 / 0 6 / 1 .

A one-sided match that allows  Cancel / Dufour  to continue their journey with confidence.

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 !
