Sixteen French players were on the slopes of the Greenweez Paris Major over the last two days and only one of them, Léa Godallier, was able to qualify for the second round of the competition.

If the pairs Barsotti/Invernon, Blanqué/Guichard, Cancel/Raichman and Scatena/Gomes suffered with defeats in two sets that were sometimes quite dry, the other duos with the Tricolores each time pushed their opponents to play three sets…

The closest to creating the surprise were obviously Adrien Maigret and Jérôme Inzerillo, beaten 6/4 6/7 7/6 by Mercadal / Rivera after having a match point, but their compatriots also defended themselves rather well as you will see in the results below:

  • Vano (88) / Serrano (122) beat Soubrié / Touly 3/6 6/2 6/2 (previas)
  • Hernandez (123) / Jimenez (122) beat Moreau / Salandro 6/1 4/6 6/1 (previas)
  • Araujo (152) / Garcia (124) beat Seurin / Vives 2/6 6/4 6.4 (previas)
  • Valdes (56) / Sanchez (42) beat Leygue / Insa 4/6 6/4 6/2

The French never far from creating a surprise, and if it was the good news of this beginning of the week?

For the moment, the pairs with the French have therefore lost the five matches in three sets that they have had to play. Is it a coincidence or a sign of difficulty finishing the work, of a difference in level greater than it seems or even of difficulty managing the pressure generated by playing residence ? Not always, because the scores show that the pairs are close. And let's remember, there are many French players who have only a few years of padel against the Spanish decades. There are therefore, in reality, a lot of positives to be taken from this start of the week, even if the road ahead remains significant.

One thing is certain, the French spectators gave voice to support the players and they obviously hope to have other tricolor victories to put in their mouths during this Parisian Major. From today ? Answer this afternoon!
