Last weekend at Padel Ekwalis, the club of padel of Réunion, the first tournament padel P500 was successfully organized and the victories of Dautriat / Imary for the ladies and Carité / Grenier for the gentlemen.

DAUTRIAT / IMARY Wins Women's P500

On the female side, EKWALIS PADEL was not left out… No less than 12 French Beach Tennis champions (former but also current with the Hoarau sisters who are also in the world top) were present at the women's P500. Added to that a few negatives, the picture was also very high.

It's finally the two negative, DAUTRIAT / IMARY who wins against the pair HOARAU / NEVER.

Victory of CARITE / GRENIER pair in Men

The coming of a great name from padel French was a godsend for the tournament and the public came in droves to see Cédric CARITE “in real life”.

Mika GRENIER, associated with Cédric in match, explains to us that “sportingly, we only“ knew ”him through videos of his big matches in the French team or in the French championship. And being by his side in an official match gives you a lot of experience, game tactics and confidence in your game. Even if it's also very stressful !!!

In the final, the CARITE / ATTIC pair beat the big surprise of the tournament composed of two tennis negatives with a little experience padel, LOZANO & HEUGAS, who swept their opponents to the final.

From beach to padel

ME HOARAU (world top 10 Beach tennis):

Le padel is a very fun sport and the exchanges are much longer than at the Beach.

Given the large number of players from padel at the club, the arrival of these Beach champions as well as negative tennis players is a huge contribution in the development of the padel in the meeting.

It shows the great potential that ladies represent and the evolution they can have.

Well done to them.

A word from Cédric Carité

Cédric CARITE tells us about the level of padel in the meeting :

I was amazed by the level of the players on this island given the lack of a training structure: just through the videos…

And seeing so many players with such a fighting mentality is very, very positive as we know the difficulty of developing this part of the sport.

With the means at hand " padel », But with acquired beach, tennis, and physical and mental qualities of great qualities, the potential is real.

With a quality accompaniment, the level will continue to rise to compete with the metropolis.
