For their  first tournament together ,  Pol Hernandez  et  William Collado  did not do things by halves. Opposed to the third seed in the final  Álvaro Cepero / Eduardo Agustín Torre , both players delivered a  perfectly controlled match , imposing  6 / 3 6 / 3  in only 2 minutes.

A one-sided game

In  windy conditions  which they were able to tame, Hernandez and Collado quickly took the upper hand.  A quick break in each set , impeccable management of key moments, and remarkable solidity in defense allowed the duo to never really be worried.

Facing them, the Cepero / Torre pair, already  in difficulty in the semi-final , never found his rhythm.  Agustin Torre , in particular, had a complicated final, making multiple mistakes and struggling to establish his game.

The point of the title

À  5/4 in the second set , on a  heroic defense , Guillermo Collado manages to counter an opponent's smash by sliding the ball into the net... on the opponent's side. A  spectacular point , like their tournament, which sealed the victory of the outsiders who became masters in Bandol.

A perfect week

This coronation concludes a  perfect week  for the Spanish duo. After having  eliminated seed 1 ,  Gonzalo Rubio / Javi Ruiz , in the quarterfinals, Hernandez and Collado did not drop a single set to their opponents in their last two matches. A beautiful  performance  which could well give this pair ideas to extend the adventure together.

Make way for the Rome Major

From next week the two players will meet their respective partners,  Pol Hernandez  will find  Ramiro Jesus Valenzuela  et  William Collado  will be alongside  Javi Valdes  to compete for the prestigious  Italy Major  in Rome.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
