On June 18, 2016, 19 “northerner” teams met at Padel Attitude in Lesquin, to party, on the occasion of the 2nd Flanders Championships Padel.

A wonderful day Padel, as always, with a level still improving in the North and an atmosphere padelistic at the top.

A fairly quiet group stage for the favorites even if, the first surprise of the day, the Breton / Vandendriessche pair removed from the first match any chance of qualification at Plisson / Lecomte normally armed to join the quarters without problem…

The first 2 of each group reach the ¼ finals which will make a first victim: Jonathan Saleta. Orphan this year from his double Antoine Tanfin who is devoting himself to his studies, the “Jo” is struggling to land with a new partner to return to the top.

At the attack of the semifinals, it is Thibault Nollet / Thibaut Lecomte who have the heavy task to face the pair which dominates the region Johan Romanowski / Thomas Dulion.

Match tight and disputed, maybe a little more than expected, but the first cities come to the final logically.

The other semi-final opposes Maxime Lecomte / Florian Landtsheere to the formidable pair Sebastien Fievet / Pierre Destombes. These last, usual dolphins, are seen robbing politeness and it is “Max and FLo” which pass in final.

During the latter, the intensity drops a notch, the 2 teams are qualified for the "inter-regions". It is logically the Pair Romanowski / Dulion who wins and brings back to the Valenciennois their second title of Champions of Flanders.

A day that foreshadows magnificent French Championships in October Chez Padel Attitude in Lesquin with 4 courts of padel additional indoor!

Small information for future qualified ... The grounds are the game of defenders, very comfortable and slow carpets, very absorbent windows ... With a high ceiling to lober very high, the ball often goes down with snow on it ...
