The Strasbourg Tennis Club had planned a festive weekend for the participants: padel, dance & party. In the opinion of all, it is a winning bet for the organizing team led by Arnaud Perozeni, Uta Bardenhorst, Jean-Pierre Guichard & Romain Glantzmann!

The TCS weekend started this Saturday morning with the visit of Bernard Giudicelli. On this occasion, the President of the French Tennis Federation will have been able to attend a dance padelo-choreographed prepared and performed by local players to the music of Jérusalema (see photo above); and which will have been repeated several times during the weekend.

On the field side, the Strasbourg club had planned 2 tournaments: a P100 Women and a P100 Men. On the start line on Saturday morning, 12 men's teams and 12 women's teams ; for each tournament, 2 pools of 4 teams were organized on Saturday with the stake, 4 tickets for the Sunday final table.

As pointed out by Arnaud Perozeni, linchpin of the weekend, “bringing together 12 teams in the women's table is a great success for us; we hope that this will be emulated for the next women's tournaments in the region** “. Arnaud, alias DJ Lobo, the players will also have found him behind the decks for the players party Saturday night.

On the Men's tournament, the first surprise came from the 1/1 of the Final where the Mulhouse pair Flavien BISCHOFF & Quentin OCHSENBEIN dropped the seed number 2. They could not repeat such a performance against Romain GLANTZMANN & Ivan VUKOVIC, who then won the title by beating Diego ADAM & Arnaud PEROZENI.

In women, the 4 seeds will have held their rank by reaching the semi-final. For the last dance of the table, we found in the final Perrine ARNOULD & Uta BARDENHORST face Ilona GOMEZ KLEIN & Luna GOMEZ. After 3 disputed sets, the latter had the last word. Nathalie ALIDOR & Perrine GUINGAND they took 3rd place.

Even though he discovered the padel about ten years ago in Italy, Vincent only devoted himself to it after too many “firsts” in tennis tournaments. Not much better at bandeja, he was retrained as referee, the only way to still be present at the time of the final! A lover of sport in general, this Norman expatriate in Alsace will try to make you live the news of the Padel in the “Great East”.
