We knew it before the competition, the level offered by the Master of My Padel Tour 2017 is very tough with players, sometimes unknown to the public, but very dangerous.

The match that could have made a lot of talk is the confrontation between the French numbers one Bergeron / Blanqué and Lerustre / Landtsheer. A match that the champions of France win in pain in 2 tie-break. But what a match of the pair Landtsheer / Lerustre. On the left, Alexandre Lerustre shows that the level increases and that the warheads that he is able to send make more and more fly. Right Florian Landtsheer that we saw for one of the very first times on the right. Well he surprised by his aggressiveness and strength in the diagonal against probably the best player right Johan Bergeron.

The other very big match was the pair Haziza / Ferrandez opposed Carité / Salines. An almost one-sided match. We were hoping for a tighter showdown, but we saw some very big Jose Luis Salines who surprised by his combativeness and his athletic body. On the left, Cédric Carité, still serious and regular, held the house. The Franco-Spanish pair wins 6 / 4 6 / 1. Attention to this pair, it acts as favorite with the champions of France in this competition.

More generally, among men, the level is tightening more and more. And there are no more small games, even in the 8e finals.

In the ladies, no surprise, the best French players return to the track late afternoon.
