In the ladies, the favorites have been running throughout the tournament. They were clearly above the fray with former European Vice-Champion Emmelien Lambregts who often hurt a lot in the opposing ranks, while Claire Lefebre was particularly strong.
We will see them together very soon in Toulouse for the P1000 du My Padel Tour in Toulouse Padel Club in two weeks.
In gentlemen, Mass was far from being said. Firstly, because the general level was raised with the L. Tap / Nicol, Trancart / K. Tap pairs, which were logically found for the 3e square. Even if… in the semifinals, Loïc Tap and Erwan Nicol delivered a very good performance against the future winners of the tournament, losing 6/4 7/6.
If the French pair Moreau / Lopes seemed to be the most balanced on paper to go to the end, a pair could bring them down: the intractable Jose Luis Salines who was this time associated with the no less known Jean Pascal Pellicier.
A tight and serious game. But in the end, the 100% French pair wins 6/4 6/4. Note an alert in the second set for Jean Pascal Pellicier with an ankle problem which will handicap him at the end of the game. Despite the enormous level of the Spanish Salines, it was not enough to counter Lopes / Moreau.
It was the second time that these two players teamed up. Result: 2 tournaments and 2 victories. We remember the victory of our French, 3 weeks ago at TC Vignal. It's a safe bet that we will see them together very soon.
