Wednesday day at FIP Platinum Lyon offered a real concentration of emotions. Between exploits, confirmations and disappointments, the French experienced a contrasting day. If Adrien Maigret and Olivier Guy de Chamisso have achieved one of the most impressive feats of the tournament, while other French players have had more difficult starts.

Maigret and Guy de Chamisso: the feat of the day

They did it again! After eliminating the No. 1 and No. 7 seeds in qualifying, Adrien Maigret et Olivier Guy de Chamisso created a sensation by dominating Emilio Sánchez Chamero (65th) et Enzo Jensen (74th), on the score of 6/7 7/6 6/1.
The French saved five match balls in the second set tie-break before rolling out in the third.
Maigret, exceptional in his lucidity and aggressiveness, seemed to have regained his best form, while his young partner, only 16 years, impressed with his maturity and physical intensity.

Tomorrow, they will try to continue their epic against Jose Jiménez Casas et Maxi Sanchez Blasco, fallers of Momo González et Fran Guerrero, the number 2 seed, beaten 6/4 2/6 7/6 in the big surprise of the day. We saw a Guerrero in difficulty in this match, it's the first big surprise of this tournament with the second seed falling which completely opens up the bottom of the table.

Guichard and Vives unfold at home

Another French performance: Dylan Guichard (136th) et Manuel Vives (258th), reigning French champions, got their tournament off to a perfect start.
Beneficiaries of a wild card, they dominated Adrián García Jiménez (110th) et Víctor Tur Checa (134th) 6 / 2 6 / 3, without ever trembling.
The two French teams confirm their current dynamic and will face tomorrow the seed n ° 8, Teodoro Zapata / Francisco Cabeza Teres, for a place in the quarter-finals.

Godallier and Marchetti at the meeting

In the ladies, Léa Godallier et Giorgia Marchetti held their rank against Dominguez et Martínez, clear victory 6 / 1 6 / 3.
Full of confidence after their qualification for the main draw of the Milan P1, the Franco-Italian pair will face this Thursday the seed n ° 6, Jessica Castello / Lorena Rufo, in a very high level eighth.

Bahurel and Pothier roll out on the central

The day started in the best possible way for Louise Bahurel and Lucile Pothier, who flew through their entry into the competition. Opposed to River / Vichier, the French women delivered a solid match from start to finish, winning 6 / 0 6 / 1 on center court. A quick win that allows them to reach the second round with full confidence where they will play A. Osoro Ulrich / V. Iglesias Segador (TS4).

Other French people in difficulty

Young people Yoan Boronad et Timeo Fonteny came close to achieving a feat against Javi Garrido (20th in the world) et Diego Gil, bowing 7/6 5/7 6/0 after a big fight.
Johan Bergeron et Bastien Blanqué also fall from the start (6 / 4 7 / 6) against Ronco Lopez / Oliver Artigas, despite several missed opportunities, including a tie-break led 4-0 in the second set.

In the ladies, Carla Touly / Lucia Peralta fall (6/4 7/6 against Navarro / Gómez Rivas) and Kimy Barla / Lou Lambert Agosti (6/1 6/1 against Alonso / Sainz) leave the tournament, as do Messina / Pellegrinelli, dominated 6/2 6/1. Camille Sireix and Melissa Martin bow heavily to the number 8 seed, Nuria Rodríguez Camacho / Giulia Dal Pozzo, on the undisputed score of 6 / 2 6 / 2. At last, Alix Collombon and Jessica Ginier faced a mountain: Aranza Osoro (15th in the world) et Victoria Iglesias (22nd in the world), seeded 4. The locals could do nothing against the power and consistency of the Spanish-Argentine duo, losing 6 / 1 6 / 2 in just over an hour.

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 !
