France's last hopes have vanished in the men's draw of the  FIP Bronze Westerbork .  Maxime Deloyer / Lucas Pillon  et  Arthaud Dumoulin / Theodore Garton  They were both eliminated in the round of 16.

In contrast, the situation is much more favorable for the women, where the tournament is played in  Silver category .  Camille Sireix / Helena Wyckaert  et  Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart  They will both be present at the quarter-finals.

Deloyer/Pillon had, however, made a perfect start.

After winning the first-round French duel against  Guillaume Ledrap / Pierre Perez Le Tiec ,  Maxime Deloyer and Lucas Pillon  had a good card to play against the  seeded 9 Carlos Rodriguez Vidal / Oscar Sebber Gormsen .

The French started perfectly, taking a hard-fought first set in a tie-break. But then the match completely turned around.

The ninth seed raised their level and left few openings for Deloyer/Pillon, who ultimately lost.  6/7 6/1 6/2 A shame after a start to the match that offered hope of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

Dumoulin/Garton stopped by the TS4

The challenge was even greater for  Arthaud Dumoulin , associated with the British  Theodore Garton .

After their victory in three heats in the first round, they returned to the  seeded 4 Pablo Pastor / Luis Oliver Artigas .

This time, no upset. Pastor and Oliver Artigas confirmed their status and won.  6 / 3 6 / 2 Dumoulin / Garton met their match and logically exited the tournament.

With these two eliminations,  Therefore, there are no longer any French players in contention in the men's draw. .

Dardaine / Mansart are present

In the ladies,  Marie-Amélie Dardaine and Clara Mansart  have launched their FIP Silver perfectly.

Opposed to the  seeded 9 Constança Gorito / Dora Chamli The French women secured a fine victory in two sets.  6 / 3 7 / 5 .

A first serious test, perfectly handled, which allows them to reach the quarter-finals. They will now face the  seeded 4 Maria Portillo Perez / Martina Parmigiani .

Sireix / Wyckaert directly facing TS1

 Camille Sireix and Helena Wyckaert  They, for their part, have not yet needed to step onto the piste. Having qualified directly for the quarterfinals following the withdrawal of their opponents in the round of 16, the Frenchwoman and the Belgian will begin their tournament against the toughest opponent in the draw.

They will face the  seeded 1 Marta Caparrós / Águeda Pérez Ortiz  for a place in the semi-finals.

The situation in Westerbork is therefore mixed:  No more French players in the men's competition, but two pairs with French players in the quarterfinals of the women's FIP Silver tournament. Dardaine / Mansart and Sireix / Wyckaert will now try to extend the adventure.

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 !
