The last French hopes have flown away FIP Silver Melbourne , where no French pair, men or women, managed to get past the quarter-final stage. A disappointment for the French representatives, who were unable to improve their performances compared to last week in Sydney.
Results in men
- Julien Seurin and Philemon Raichman (TS2) , although well ranked, were eliminated in the round of 16 by the Swedish pair Max Bjorkman and Victor Forsberg : 6 / 3 7 / 6 A match marked by a level of play below expectations for the French, who left the competition prematurely.
- Nicolas Rouanet and Pierre Vincent , after a victory in the last 16 against the TS7 Aleix Pozo Rius (ESP) / Pier Giulio Farabbi (ITA) : 6 / 1 6 / 1 , were unable to repeat the performance in the quarter-finals. They lost to the TS4 Joel Olivera Palos (ESP) / Guillem Figuerola Santiago (ESP) on a close score: 7 / 6 7 / 6 .
Results in ladies
- Camille Sireix and Marie-Amelie Dardaine started their tournament well by beating Beatriz Garcia-Planas (ESP) / Taly Merker (ECU) in eighths: 6 / 1 6 / 0 . Unfortunately, in the quarter-finals, they fell to the TS4 Carla Fernandez Gonzalez (ESP) / Nerea Guerra Santana (ESP) : 6 / 3 6 / 2 . A bitter elimination, especially since this same Spanish pair had already knocked them out in the quarter-finals last week in Sydney.
A repeat of Sydney's performances
In Sydney, Nicolas Rouanet had already reached the quarter-finals, while Julien Seurin had done better by reaching the semi-finals. This time, no French player managed to go that far, confirming generally mixed performances for this FIP Silver in Melbourne.
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 !
