The Poitou Charentes tennis league organized its second regional championships of padel last weekend at the Sporting Club de Poitiers.

In total, 34 players and players competing on the two days of competition.

Two teams were favorites to meet in the final and the logic was respected in the men's table.

Guillaume Morere and Laurent Lalange (n ° 2) had decided to save themselves and played all the group matches and the final table, leaving very few games to their opponents in order to get in shape for the final.

Same story for the favorite pair of the event Leruste / Poey who reaches the final without trembling despite the big fear for Batiste Poey who turns his ankle in the semifinals while leading 6 / 1 5 / 1. Fortunately more fear than bad.

This small sprain will not have any consequence on the final result. Batiste Poey in metronome, and Alexandre Leruste in finisher logically won 6/3 6/2 and won the title for the second consecutive year.

These two pairs are qualified for the Inter-Regions where they will face the Yvelines, Franche Comté and Normandy 9 and 10 next September to qualify for the finals of the championships of France 2017.

No doubt the fight will be tough to win the two qualifying places.

In women, only 2 teams were involved in the competition.

Pauline and Caroline win against Nathalie and Elodie at the end of a tight match 6 / 4 7 / 5.

The weekend took place in a remarkable atmosphere where all the players present offered the spectators very beautiful Padel.
