Huge sensation on the Philippe Chatrier with the elimination, in the first round, of Fernando Belasteguin et Tino Libaak (TS11), released in three sets by Marc Quilez et Federico Mourino. Victory in three sets for the Spanish-Argentine pair: 6/3 6/7(6) 7/5.

Fernando Belasteguin played his last match in Paris… and it will have a very bitter taste. Obviously the favorite of the meeting alongside his young partner Tino Libaak, King Bela did not manage to extend his stay in the Parisian capital. Libaak and he will undoubtedly have some regrets, especially since they were not far from the break at the end of the third set, which would probably have been crucial for the end of this match.

However, facing them, Marc Quilez and Federico Mouriño were able to show themselves to be very realistic throughout the match. They even obtained a match ball at tie-breaker of the second, perfectly saved by Tino Libaak who made a perfect exit. However, the Quilez / Mouriño pair never gave up, despite a match point obtained in the second set. In the third set, the two players even showed heroism by saving four break points at 5/5 in the third round.

Sad image on the Philippe Chatrier where King Bela was entitled to a succinct last dance in Paris. Terrible disappointment for Bela and Libaak who have an interest in getting things back on track if they want to play the Master Finals.

Next match on the Philippe Chatrier, Thomas Leygue / Ignacio Piotto against Xisco Gil / JuanLu Esbri (TS15). Meet at 18 p.m.:

Gwenaelle Souyri

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
