Le  men's main draw  du  FIP Silver Bandol  launched hostilities this Friday in the Var, with many French players involved. If  Yoan Boronad  et  Timeo Fonteny  have distinguished themselves brilliantly,  Dylan Guichard  and its Portuguese partner  Antonio Luque  also made it through this first round in pain. For the other French players, the step was too high.

 Boronad and Fonteny impress 

The day had started with  a convincing victory for Yoan Boronad and Timéo Fonteny  face  Julien Seurin  et  Albert Trillas Garcia . Thanks to  a big quality lob  et  tactical rigor  (only 15 unforced errors against 32 on the opposing side), the young Frenchmen controlled the match, despite losing the second set, to win  6/2 4/6 6/1 .

They will face tomorrow a  big challenge  : the  seeded 4 Pablo Lijó / Juan Cruz Belluati , an experienced pair on the circuit Premier Padel.

 Guichard and Luque come through by the skin of their teeth 

On the  short 1 ,  Dylan Guichard  et  Antonio Luque  had a hot fight against the guest pair  Jérémy Garcia / Jérémy Robert . These latter,  used to playing together  and recently titled at the P1500 of Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, came close to creating the feat. The French even  served for the match at 5/4 in the 3rd set , before giving in under pressure. Final score:  6/1 6/7 7/5  for Guichard and Luque, who reach the round of 16. Tomorrow they will face a team from the qualifiers, Alejandro Calvo Perez and Jose Pedro Montalban Martin.

 Raichman / Joris very close to the feat 

Opposed to the  seeded 6 ,  Pol Hernandez / Guillermo Collado ,  Philemon Raichman  et  Maxime Joris  offered a great resistance. They even managed to  break in the second set , but the Spanish experience ended up making the difference:  6 / 4 7 / 5 .

 End of the road for Inzerillo / Hugounenq and Mouimen / Ronco 

In a duel of  lucky losers ,  Arthur Hugounenq  et  Jerome Inzerillo  were unable to confirm their good start to the match against  Abraham Muñoz Zurita / Alejandro Garcia Calahorro . After a controlled first set, they were knocked down:  3/6 6/2 6/4 .

Same scenario for  Kamel Mouimen  et  Adrian ronco , also fished out, who lost  6 / 3 6 / 3  facing the Spaniards  Alejandro Calvo Perez / Jose Pedro Montalban Martin , without ever really succeeding in imposing their rhythm.

 Surprise of the day: fall of the 9th seed 

Among the notable results of the day, we will note  the elimination of the number 9 seed ,  Clement Geens  (82th in the world) and  Simon vasquez  (84e).

 Place for the eighth tomorrow

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 !
