Le main board du FIP Bronze Rivesaltes started this Friday with the round of 16 And if several French people responded positively, a meeting inevitably leaves some regrets.
Hugounenq / Forcin, a real missed opportunity
This is probably the match that will leave the most frustration on the French side. Arthur Hugounenq / Maxime Forcin bow to Sanchez Del Viejo / Harris ( 6 / 4 7 / 6 ), in a match that was nevertheless largely within their reach.
Facing two ranked players 253th and 292th in the world , there was clearly an opportunity to be seized to go and get a eighth finals The match was close, but the French were unable to make the difference at key moments.
A painful defeat, given the opportunity in the draw.
Courrin/Seux put up a strong fight against a top seed
At the same time, Nathan Courrin / Thomas Seux put in a great performance by eliminating the 9th seed Bogarini / Perez Martin .
Victoire 6 / 4 6 / 0 with a perfectly controlled second half. A convincing debut.
Joris/Robert secure their status
Even serious for Maxime Joris / Jérémy Robert , which dominate Dametto / Graupera in two sets 6 / 3 6 / 4 .
A clean victory, which allows them to continue on their path without any fear.
Peloux / Perez Le Tiec impress
A very good performance also for the French wild card Johan Peloux Marchini / Pierre Perez Le Tiec , which outclass Pérez Martínez / Bursa ( 6 / 0 6 / 1 ).
A one-sided match, and a well-deserved qualification for the round of 16.
The rest of the results
In other matches:
- Aragon Herrera / Moragues Molto (TS5) dominate Mendoza / Pirovani ( 6 / 0 6 / 0 )
- Olivera Palos / Varo Ramos impose themselves in the face of Lopez Luque / Nicocia ( 6 / 3 6 / 4 )
An open sequel
Despite the disappointment for Hugounenq / Forcin The overall assessment remains positive with several French players still in contention.
The level will rise a notch in the round of 16, but some French pairs have already shown that they have what it takes to keep going.
The matches are still to be followed directly on Padel MagTV .

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 !
