The first champions of France junior are finally known. Including the current French N ° 17, the selection Provence-Alpes Côtes d'Azur was twice defeated in the final. Occitania and the Hauts-de-France are sacred, all under the eyes of Bastien Blanqué.

The very first French youth championship of padel delivered its verdict this weekend. Toulouse Padel Club hosted, on September 14 and 15, the first edition of the French youth championship of padel, regional tournament reserved for under 18s.

The surprise was de rigueur in the boys because the Provence-Alpes Côtes d'Azur, whose U18 pair counted in its ranks Thomas Leygue, the current French N ° 17 only 17 years, let slip the title. Occitanie, aware that she did not go favorite, assured his matches U14 and U16.

Yoan Boronad and Julien Biron (Occitanie) won their match against Timeo Fonteny and Ethan Bensoussan (Provence-Alpes Côtes d'Azur) in two sets: 6 / 1; 7 / 6. Then the pair Mathieu Biron and Manuel Lorenzo (Occitanie) had in turn, in 16 years and under, the Provençal duet (6 / 1, 4 / 6, 6 / 4). The victory of the duo Leygue / Sfenz in 18 years and less does not change anything (6 / 1, 6 / 1), the Occitanie has already made the break in this championship of France.

The Provençal selection still finalist unhappy
