There will be no French quarter-final at FIP Silver Chengdu. Last French survivors in the running, Lucas Filippin et Kamel Mouimen / Julien Biron were all eliminated in the round of 16 against much higher ranked pairs.
Lucas Filippini (678th FIP), associated to Aram Kocharyan (897th), had nevertheless started his tournament well with an encouraging victory in the first round against Damien Hall et Mainard Mendel Sahagun (6/2 4/6 6/0). But in the last 2, things got much tougher against the number XNUMX seed Emilio Sanchez Chamero / Daniel Santigosa SastreThe Spanish left no chance to the Franco-Armenian duo, winning resoundingly 6/1 6/0.
On their side, Kamel Mouimen (753rd) et Julien Biron (1764th) had benefited from a small miracle. Beaten in the last round of qualifying, they were drafted as lucky losers, then directly qualified for the round of 16 after the lump sum of their first opponents. But the opposition against the seed 6, Carlos Perez Cabeza / Sergio Icardo, quickly turned sour. The French logically lost 6/2 6/2.

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 !
