La  seeded 1 , composed of Alice Hofer  et  Laurine Bergaud , lived up to expectations this Sunday by winning the  P1500 VidaPadel  face  Elise David-Bordier  et  Alexise Duchêne  on the score of  6 / 4 7 / 5 .

A hard-fought, choppy final, but one where the favorites were able to showcase their aggression and experience in the important moments.

A mastered first set

The start of the match was balanced, with several close games and a fairly significant number of errors on both sides.

At 2-2, Hofer and Bergaud managed to break serve. After that, they held their own on their serves and maintained their lead to the end, winning the first set.  6/4 .

As usual,  Laurine Bergaud  She makes a big difference thanks to her left-handed game. Very aggressive, she racks up winners but also unforced errors. Alongside her,  Alice Hofer  brings more stability and regularity, especially in key moments.

The favorites make the difference mentally.

The second set follows a fairly similar scenario.

Hofer and Bergaud continued to play aggressively, alternating winners and taking risks. Their aggression paid off once again as they took the lead and even served for the match.  5/4 .

But the tension rises and they concede the break.

Far from panicking, the two players immediately went back on the attack and regained their opponent's serve.  6/5 Despite a very close final game, they finally closed out the match.  7/5 .

A logical victory despite a messy match

This final will be remembered for a significant number of unforced errors. In total, both teams accumulated...  70 .

But the difference was made by the favorites' ability to impose their attacking game.

The statistics speak for themselves:

  •  30 winning points  for Hofer and Bergaud against 13 on the other side
  •  41 unforced errors  compared to 29 for David-Bordier and Duchêne
  •  7 break points obtained , including 4 converted
  •  6 break points obtained  for their opponents, but only 2 converted

Despite more wastefulness, the constant aggression of Hofer and Bergaud allowed them to maintain control of the match.

A tournament that was generally well-controlled

The champions thus conclude a very successful weekend in VidaPadel.

They had to work hard in the quarter-finals after losing the first set before turning the match around. After that, they raised their level of play to dominate their semi-final and then this final.

For  Laurine Bergaud , already titled in  P1500  Last season, this success represents another important trophy on the French circuit.

For  Alice Hofer , it's about  first P1500 title of his career , after several appearances in the final four in recent seasons.

A victory that confirms the status of the number 1 seed, solid throughout the weekend and present in the moments that matter.

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 !
