The French Thomas Vanbauce and Julien Seurin have made a big shot in Saint-Paul, eliminating the number 4 seed, Gustavo Nunes and José Solano, on the score of 7 / 5 6 / 3, at the end of a match full of control and intensity.

A hard-fought first set and a rousing crowd

The French quickly took the break in the first set, even getting four set points at 5/4. Although they saw their opponents come back to 5-5, they did not crack and knew how to move forward to close the set. 7/5 in a high-energy atmosphere.

A controlled second act

As solid as ever, Vanbauce and Seurin broke early in the second set, imposing their pace against frustrated opponents. Leading 5/1, they were briefly broken, but kept their composure to finish with the score 6/3.

A revenge and a collective performance

This victory has a special flavor for the French, who take their revenge on Nunes / Solano, who beat them last week. Vanbauce delivered a sparkling performance, multiplying the winning points on the volley and in smash, while Seurin shone with his consistency and composure, he increased his level of play throughout the match. Opposite we saw a very good Solano but Nunes was in difficulty, multiplying direct errors.

Place to the semi-final

The French duo will face the second seeded pair in the semi-finals, Facundo Domínguez / Mario Huete, victorious over Raichman / Muesser (7/6 6/4). The French will not start as favorites, but the opportunity is real: Domínguez and Huete showed some signs of nervousness last week, and Vanbauce / Seurin seem more confident than ever.

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 !
