The last men's semi-final of the  FIP Platinum Marseille  left no room for doubt.  Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero , the number 1 seed, delivered a very solid performance to win against  Sanyo Gutierrez and Gonzalo Alfonso  on the net score of  6 / 2 6 / 3 , in less than 1 hour of gameplay.

From the very first exchanges, the Leal/Guerrero duo took control of the game. More aggressive, more consistent, and above all, far more effective in key moments, they stifled their opponents. The statistic speaks for itself:  6 break points earned, 3 converted , against  no break point conceded Total domination.

 Impressive offensive control 

Offensively, the gap was clear. Leal and Guerrero racked up  37 winning points , against only  17 for Gutiérrez / Alfonso . The unforced errors remained balanced (17 on each side), but the impact on the game largely went in favor of the number 1 seed.

Leal was very prominent with his smash attack, causing a lot of damage, while  Fran Guerrero scored a huge first set immediately setting the tone. On the other side, Sanyo and Alfonso, who had been very solid the day before, had more difficulty establishing their game.  Gonzalo Alfonso , excellent in the previous round, showed himself to be much less sharp, particularly in attacking phases.

 A dream final awaited 

Thanks to this controlled success,  Leal / Guerrero reach the final where they will face the number 2 seed,  Javi Garrido and Lucas Bergamini A highly anticipated clash between four players who know each other perfectly.

All the ingredients are there for a  very high level final , pitting the two best pairs in the tournament against each other.

 The final will be broadcast live on Padel MagTV , right after the women's final, which is scheduled to start at  11:30 .

A meeting not to be missed.

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 !
