After a memorable day, the round of 8 of this FIP Gold Perpignan delivered their verdict. Focus on what happened on the pitch this Friday.

Atmosphere, a fiery public and exceptional matches

If we were able to complain yesterday about the lack of close matches and suspense, this Friday will have been quite different. Matches in 3 sets, public on fire, all the ingredients were there to guarantee us a day synonymous with celebration of the padel.

And for a party you need music. And this music was composed by all the players involved today, who will have given everything on the track. We can think in particular of Valentino Acosta who will have inflamed the public thanks to his contagious energy, and who unfortunately will have suffered from very severe cramps during the 3rd round of his match.

But one can also think of Ben Tison and Teo Zapata match which will have aroused the crowds and which unfortunately will have had a rather sad outcome for the French spectators.

This day will have been placed under the acronym of the good game and good humor, with a large public who came to attend all the meetings.

Sign that the Perpignan public is either already in love, or in the process of falling under the spell of the padel.

Garcia / Suescún (TS6) vs Sese/Carmona 6-3 6-3

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
