Seurin and Vanbauce impress and continue their journey

On their side, Julien Seurin et Thomas Vanbauce confirm their excellent dynamic. After two first rounds perfectly controlled against the Egyptian pairs Hesham / Ragab (6 / 2 6 / 0) and Sabry / Kassem (6 / 1 6 / 4), they were opposed in the quarter-finals to a very solid duo: Rodrigo Coello (n ° 134) and Iván Ramírez (No. 102), former member of the world Top 25.

Against all odds, Seurin and Vanbauce delivered a great performance, winning 6 / 3 7 / 6 after a tie-break won 9/7. A great performance which rewards their solidity, their complementarity and the very positive dynamic carried by the recent victory of Seurin at FIP Bronze Kuala Lumpur.

A high-level semi-final in perspective

Qualified for the semi-finals, Seurin et Vanbauce will find another big pair: Jose Luis Gonzalez (n ° 94) and Alvaro Melendez Amaya (No. 88), seeded 2 in the tournament.

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 !
