Clermont-Ferrand welcomes theOpen Vertuo UrbanPadel Clermont – P1000 Gentlemen, a tournament which brings together 21 players from french top 100. And after a Saturday volcanic On the padel courts, the first sensations took place. This first day was more than perilous for the seeded pairs 1 and 2.

After a 8th finals without surprises, which left the 8 seeded pairs still in the race for the final victory, the quarter finals were completely different. The first surprise occurred in the first quarter. The pair Lilian FOURE / Florian HUE, seeded 1, was unable to find the solution to impose itself against the solid pair Thomas BASSO / Damien BAYARD, seeded 5. Despite winning the first set following a solid tie-break, the favourites were unable to maintain the momentum, committing numerous unforced errors. A match physiognomy that did not escape Thomas et Damien, who were able to seize the opportunity to turn the match around (7-6, 6-4, 6-4).

Continuing in the upper part of the table, the pair Thomas Seux / Vincent FERRARA, third seed, had to work hard to get past the 8th seed Paul DORNBERGER / Mathis DUPONT BRIMBEUF. A meeting marked by spectacular points throughout the match, with a Thome SEUX on fire in volcanic land (7-5, 2-6, 6-2).

In the lower part of the table, another surprise took place. The number 2 seeded pair, Louis JOVER / Benjamin GRUE, was taken out by the pair Matthew GONZALEZ / Jeremy MACCHI, seeded number 6 (7-6, 3-6, 7-6).

The last quarter-final left no room for doubt for the number 4 seeded pair Olivier GUY DE CHAMISSO / Jeremy ROBERT. A victory in 2 sets (7-5, 6-2) against Alexandre DIZY / Raphael BLOND, 7th seed.

I took a bubble in my first tournament Padel. Since then, it has become a passion,
with one goal: to never again finish a game without scoring a goal. This sport is
now an integral part of my life, to the point of leaving feathers there. I often burn myself
elbows trying to catch all the balls. "A true love story."
