Finally a sunny weekend, and we enjoyed it during the 2 days of spring open P500 Tc Pau the 14 and 15 April 2018.

Benjamin Grué and Julien Castaing won over Bastien Vergely and Loïc Duarte. A duel Bordeaux Vs Toulouse on neutral ground at TC Pau, which largely turned in favor of Bordeaux 6/1 6/1.

24 registered teams offered quality games to the large numbers of spectators. The level of play is rising in the Pau region and the public is not mistaken by coming to drink a little beer in front of these gladiators of the track.

In Pau, we share a passion: the padel . And why not share it with the women's teams! After the test on a P100 in February 2018 (limited to teams above 1500 ranking points) where Léa Godallier and Marianne Vandaele (French n ° 9 and n ° 6) reached the final, we decided with Pierre Bidegarray (president of the federal commission Padel) to test an integration on a P500 tournament in the last team. It is a rather successful experience, since these warriors reach the 8e square. Unfortunately they can not yet appear on the results and take the corresponding points, but they gain experience in the match to prepare them for future competitions. And above all the question can be mentioned to bring women's teams under conditions of classification and limited number in male tournaments.

During this weekend, we were also able to test beach tennis in the company of Nina, Amandine Fermigier, Romain Dejeufosse and Olivier. This sport is not well known to all but so fun too.
