Julien Seurin and Philémon Raichman continue the adventure at FIP Silver Australian Padel Open Sydney, marking the start of the 2025 season. The No. 2 seed, true to her status, has still not conceded a single set since the start of the tournament. In the quarter-finals, the French pair won 7/6 6/2 against the Spanish-Italian pair Aleix Pozo Rius / Pier Giulio Farabbi, seeded No. 7 in the tournament.

The next challenge promises to be tougher, with a clash scheduled against the No. 4 seed, the Spanish pair Joel Olivera Palos / Guillem Figuerola Santiago. The latter easily beat the other French pair, Nicolas Rouanet / Pierre Vincent, with a score of 6/3 6/2.

A disappointment for the French women

In the women's competition, the tournament unfortunately ended for the French representatives. Camille Sireix and Marie-Amelie Dardaine put up a good fight but were knocked out in the quarter-finals by the number 4 seed, the Spanish team Fernandez Gonzalez / Guerra Santana, with a tight score of 6/3 3/6 6/3.

Previously, the French had to dig deep to win in the round of 16 against the Japanese pair. Tokumoto / Tsukamoto, at the end of a three-set fight (6/3 3/6 7/6). This effort seems to have weighed physically during their quarter-final duel.

A decisive semi-final for Seurin and Raichman

Tomorrow, Julien Seurin and Philemon Raichman will play a crucial semi-final against Olivera Palos / Figuerola Santiago. This match, scheduled for the second rotation on track 6, will start around 12:30 local time (00:30 in France). A match that promises to be intense in the hope of a place in the final of this first tournament of the year.
