Au  FIP Silver Kazakhstan , the French saw their journey stop at the gates of the final.  Carla Touly and Louise Bahurel  on the one hand,  Julien Seurin and Pablo Pastor  on the other, bowed out after some great battles. At the FIP Bronze Denmark Vives and Joris also saw their journey end in the semi-finals.

Touly and Bahurel dominated by the second seed

In the semi-final, Carla Touly and Louise Bahurel did not find the key against  Carolina Navarro Björk and Monica Gomez Rivas The Spanish made the difference in the key moments, breaking at 3/3 in each set to take off. Despite some good runs from Louise Bahurel, the French pair lost 6/3 6/3.

Touly and Bahurel, however, leave with  25 FIP points  and experience, proof of a solid tournament despite this step too high in the semi-final.

Seurin / Pastor: a cruel disillusionment

In the men's competition, Julien Seurin and Pablo Pastor delivered a huge fight against the number 4 seed,  Gustavo Nunes and José Solano Marmolejo In the first set, the Spaniards broke early and maintained their advantage to win 6/4.

The second act was intense. Seurin and Pastor raised their game, held their opponents, and pulled off a thrilling tiebreak, winning 8-6. Everything then remained to be played for in the deciding set.

The third set was balanced and tense. At 4-4, the French had two break points that could have changed the course of the match. But a few missed returns proved costly, and after that, Nunes/Solano took the upper hand to conclude 6/4. A 6/4 6/7 6/4 defeat that left a lot of regret with those two break points in the third set.

Vives / Joris stopped in Denmark

Au  FIP Bronze Denmark , Manuel Vives and Maxime Joris (TS2) also failed in the semi-finals. Opposed to  Santiago Rolla and Dylan Cuello , they lost 6/3 6/4. The French, although favorites on paper, came up against a formidable pair with a somewhat misleading ranking. Rolla, in particular, is a regular on the A1 circuit Padel where he has already shone. Too solid, the two men deprive Vives and Joris of a final.

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 !
