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 !
