During these European Championships of padel in Lisbon, Team France managed to bring home a very nice bronze medal for the girls. The men were not far from making the double, but the Italians decided otherwise. Back on this big week of padel.

Let it be said, France is indeed one of the best European nations of padel. First among the girls, Collombon / Ginier, Clergue / Casanova, Godallier / Vandaele and Damiano / Vo have achieved an almost perfect course. This 3e square, " it's their place "Says Robin Haziza, one of Team France's men's team members. It must be said that apart from Portugal and Spain out of reach for the moment, the French have been imperial against other nations.

In men, if there too, Portugal and Spain lead the ball in Europe, the 3e place was the object of envy of many other European nations. Several countries could apply for this place, especially 2 nations used to meeting each year: Italy and France. Italy has in its ranks 2 players who are part of the world top: Andrés Britos and Marcelo Capitani. 2 magicians who got the better of the French in this little “very caliente” final. On paper, France had a more homogeneous team, but not enough to beat them to the best of 3 games. Blanqué / Bergeron, Scatena / Ritz, Moreau / haziza and Fernandez / Le Panse have given everything on this week and they did not come far from bringing back this medal.

The success of this French team, we owe it in good part to Alexis Salles and Patrick Fouquet, the captains of this Team France Padel. Passionate captains who return it to us!
