The adventure ends in the semi-final for the young French pair composed of  Timeo Fonteny  (225e) and  Yoan Boronad  (261st) at  FIP Silver Andalusia . Opposed to the seed 2,  Javi garcia  (30e) and  Javi Barahona  (25th), the two young French players logically lost with a score of  6 / 4 6 / 2 .

 A logical defeat but some regrets 

Facing a much more experienced and higher-ranked pair, Fonteny and Boronad knew the task would be difficult. However, the two Frenchmen started the match well by producing a  entry station wagon  in the first set. But this strong start was not enough to make the Spaniards doubt, who immediately reacted to regain control.

The efforts made in the previous matches undoubtedly took their toll on the young French players. After a hard-fought first set, they gradually gave way to the solidity of Garcia and Barahona, who imposed their rhythm to win in two sets.

 A remarkable journey despite everything 

Fonteny and Boronad can still be  proud of their journey  in this tournament. The young French people achieved a real  flash  by eliminating several formidable pairs one after the other.

In the round of 5, they created a surprise by beating the XNUMXth seed,  Diego Garcia  (67e) and  Francisco Cabeza  (57th), on the score of  7 / 5 6 / 3 . A remarkable performance against two players from  Top 70 worldwide , winners of a tournament this season  Premier Padel .

They then confirmed their form in  quarterfinal  taking out the Spaniards  Nacho Moragues Moltò  et  Marc Sintes Villalonga  (defeat of the 3rd seed), with a score of  6 / 4 7 / 5 . A victory obtained by remaining solid in key moments, notably by winning the  6 decisive points out of 6 .

 A promising tournament for the future 

This route to the  FIP Silver Andalusia  remains extremely positive for the young pair, who have shown that they can compete with higher-ranked and more experienced pairs. By reaching the semi-finals, Fonteny and Boronad have proven that they belong on the international circuit. They leave with 25 FIP points and will head off next week to a new FIP tournament, namely the FIP Silver Da Lafoes in Portugal.

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 !
