Moreau / Britos: way too strong to Padel Attitude

If the competition gathered fewer participants than usual (30 teams entered), it hit hard by hosting the 78e world player, the Italo-Argentine Andrés Britos. It is also this same Britos who had hurt the French team so badly at the 2017 European Championships in Portugal, depriving the tricolores of a place on the podium.

At Lesquin, he found himself associated with one of his victims of the time, Maxime Moreau (5e). The two friends, who train in Spain and live in colocation, did not take long to find their bearings on the ground, as confirmed by the French player: "We communicate very easily on the ground. Andrés (who played right) always plays complicated shots to our opponents, which puts me each time in favorable conditions. I can easily put my game in place, it's a real pleasure to play with him."

On the whole tournament, the two friends have left very few games en route, like their semifinal won 6 / 2 6 / 1 at the expense of the Morillon-Potron pair.

The duo Simon Boissé / Loïc Lepanse pulled himself out of the lower end of the table by winning each of his matches in two sets, even though he had to fight in the half against Destombes / Thevenot, dismissing several second-round balls.

In the final, the French team, which will be closely watched during the French championships in Casa Padel next September, lacked consistency to hope to worry Moreau-Britos (6/2, 6/2).

Maxime Moreau said after the match: "They made the points and the mistakes. But we knew how to be patient and push them to make mistakes."

The four players have in any case proposed several spectacular points, and the score, one way, does not completely reflect the scenario of a match that has long kept its promises.
