The Open All In Padel Sports ended under the sun and especially in a one-sided final. The French pair Jérôme Ferrandez / Jérémy Ritz could not do anything against the Spanish pair Rafa Mendez / José Luis Lara Salines.

However, we had the right to a difficult pre-game since José Luis Lara Salines seemed to have pain in his shoulder. But with a few pills, he was largely able to regain the ground even if it is true that he was not necessarily 100% this weekend. Was it necessary?

At his side, the number 57e world, Rafa Mendez, easily the best player of the tournament, able to occupy the 2 thirds of the field. With his side a player of this ilk, Salines could remain serene on the sequence of events. He was heckled by the French pair, but the level he proposed was much more interesting than in his previous games.

He had to face one of the best French pairs.

In the first set, our French hold the shock, especially at the beginning. But the Ferrandez / Ritz pair will disintegrate as the match progresses. Too many faults to hope to tease a quiet Spanish pair in this match.

We also felt a lot of frustration among our French. They can nevertheless reasonably congratulate themselves for having managed the most beautiful tarpaulins of the tournament.

« Will they remain the Poulidors of padel », Says Jérémy Ritz with a touch of disappointment after this final?

After 4 consecutive finals lost, the Ferrandez / Ritz pair positive and hope to be able to revive during the next 2 big events in Aix: Le My Padel Tour to Country Club Padel in two weeks and at Head Padel Open from All In Padel Sports at the end of July.
