Mai Vo and Line Meites also create a nice surprise by winning their final on recent French champions Laura Clergue and Audrey Casanova. (7 / 6 7 / 6)

Finally in the men, Ferrandez / Boulade, the vice champions of France bow 6/4 7/6 against Imbert / Blanqué, a pair absent during the French championships of padel, which made a lot of talk for its atypical and efficient style.
