The Brazilian adventure of  Johan Bergeron (121) and Bastien Blanqué   (112)  ends in  semi final  du  FIP Silver Rio Grande . Opposed to the  Argentinians Maximiliano Sanchez Blasco (171st) and Felipe Calleja (412th) , seeded 8th in the tournament, the French believed they had secured their place in the final before finally giving in  three sets  :  6/7 6/3 6/ 4.

A hard blow, especially since the table had opened up for them after the surprise elimination of the favourites.  Alvaro Melendez Amaya (81st) and Facundo Dominguez (67th)  in the quarter-finals by their opponents of the day. With such an opportunity,  Bergeron and Blanqué  had a good card to play, but the solidity of the Argentinians made the difference in this semi-final.

In the other semi-final,  Facundo Rodrigo Luis Lopez (1008) and Santiago   Rolla (232)  also create surprise by eliminating  seeded 2 José Luis Gonzalez and Marco Casseta  on the score of  3/6 6/4 6/3 .

The final will therefore pit two unexpected pairs against each other.

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 !
