Le  third and final round of qualifying  du  FIP Bronze Rivesaltes  delivered its verdict this Thursday afternoon. At stake: the last remaining places for the  main board , with several French players still in contention… and a very pleasant surprise from  Théo Suzanna / Tristan Piombo .

 Carbonell/Duran too strong 

No surprises for the number 1 seed in qualifying.  Arnau Carbonell Ortells / Saul Duran Heras  have perfectly mastered their subject in the face of  Pau Mendoza / Simon Pirovani , with a clear victory  6 / 3 6 / 0 .

A logical qualification for the Spanish, who confirm their status.

 Potel and Etienne fall at the end of the suspense. 

French side,  Lucas Potel / Natan Etienne  came very close to a major upset against the 4th seed  Pedro Gonzalez Martin / Adria Costa Lechon .

In a very close match, they ultimately lost in three sets:  5/7 6/4 6/4 After competing for a long time, they suffered a frustrating defeat considering their performance in these qualifiers.

 Suzanna/Piombo's huge coup 

That's the performance of the day.  Théo Suzanna / Tristan Piombo  continue their superb run by knocking down the  seeded 8 ,  Manuel Perez Gonzalez / Alberto Moreno Andrei , on the score of  7 / 5 6 / 4 .

A victory full of control that validates  very high level qualifications  for the French pair. They thus qualify for the  main board , after a convincing performance from start to finish.

 Barthe / Demontis stopped 

Last Frenchmen still in contention,  Théo Barthe / Aaron Demontis  failed to take this final step.

They bow down to  Nil Pérez Martínez / Sergio Bursa who prevailed in two sets  6 / 1 6 / 3  and secure their qualification for the final draw.

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 !
