New gold medal for the French delegation during the European Championships of padel Seniors+, with the victory of Marie Lefèvre and Julie Pecastaing in the category + 40 years.

Not really a surprise as the seed n ° 1 of the tournament dominated the competition. The French duo dominated the previous rounds before delivering a more contested final against the Belgian pair Elke Clijsters / Leonie Geukens, she too has had a smooth journey.

The French finally win 3/6 6/3 6/4 and thus offer France a fifth medal in the five women's categories, including four gold. A remarkable performance which confirms the place of the France as the second largest European nation, just behind Spain, absent from the Open event.

For the little story, Elke Clijsters is none other than the sister of Kim Clijsters, former Belgian tennis champion.

La France so leaves Spain with full of medals and an exceptional dynamic for French women's padel.
