Maxime Moreau et Julien Seurin failed to create the feat against Antonio Luque and Toni Bueno, seeded 3 in the qualifiers for the Greenweez Paris Major. The French lost in two sets: 7/5 7/5, in 1 hour 46 minutes of play.
A slight disappointment for the French players who could have hoped for better in this match and why not, dream of the main draw.
A regrettable first set
Maxime Moreau and Julien Seurin had the best start in this encounter. In particularly slow conditions, with the cold and humidity, the French were able to use this weather to their advantage and surprise the Luque / Bueno pair. After less than half an hour, Julien and Maxime were leading 4/0…with triple-break points.
However, the 3rd seed put the record straight by winning a remontada worthy of the name. From 4/0, the Spanish-Portuguese pair came back in front, leading 5/4 on the scoreboard. After yet another break in the first set, Antonio Luque and Toni Bueno won the set 7/5 while, in the last game, Maxime Moreau and Julien Seurin had several opportunities to break back to go and grab a tie-breaker.
An identical scenario in the second
Maxime Moreau and Julien Seurin again made the best start in the second round, leading 3/1 on the scoreboard. Once again, by playing calmly and without rushing, the French had the keys to go and get something in this second set.
Once again, Antonio Luque and Toni Bueno came back into their game, gradually gaining the gap to return to 5/5. As in the first set, a last break in the money time cost the French pair the victory, who could have hoped for better in this encounter.

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.
