P1000 2V2 Cormeilles semi-finals  offered  two completely different scenarios  this Sunday morning.
On one side, a  a true high-level semi-final dominated by the number 1 seed.
On the other hand, a match quickly stopped by a withdrawal, at the end of a huge run for the surprise of the tournament.

 Gortzounian / Filho impose their law 

The first semi-final pitted the  seeded 1 Charles Gortzounian / Clément Filho  ,  3rd seed Jules Marie / Thomas Lelarge .

And in this highly anticipated clash, it was indeed the favorites who lived up to expectations.

Clear victory:  6/1 6/4 in 48 minutes .

 A big match for the number 1 seed 

From the beginning of the meeting,  Gortzounian and Filho get off to a strong start  and gradually increase in intensity.

We have notably seen  a very big Clément Filho , particularly accurate in his choices, very clean in transitions and capable of making a huge difference in the game.

By his side,  Charles Gortzounian also played a very solid match , well positioned diagonally, capable of accelerating at the right moment and causing significant damage in attacking phases, with several  by 3 well-chosen .

Opposite,  Jules Marie and Thomas Lelarge  struggled to keep up with the pace set.

 Too many mistakes for Marie / Lelarge 

Si  Jules Mary  found a bit more rhythm in the second set and tried to hang on, the pair  Marie / Lelarge  overall lacked the consistency needed to truly turn the game around.

The statistical observation is quite clear:

  •  23 unforced errors  for Marie / Lelarge
  • against only  13  for Gortzounian / Filho

But above all, the favorites were much more decisive:

  •  32 winning points 
  • salary.  18 only  for their opponents

So, a match then  overall under control  by the number 1 seed, which fully confirms its status.

 Dammak / Ben Lallahom stop after abandonment 

In the other semi-final, the scenario was completely different.

La  7th seed Cyril Roulleau / Antoine Du Gardin  faced the  Surprise of the tournament: Mohamed Melek   Dammak / Khalil Ben Lallahom .

And it must be emphasized: their journey up to that point had been enormous.

They had successively brought down:

  • la  2nd seed Dufour / Petitdidier 
  • Then  8th seed Durban / Henrion 

A very big tournament then, but the adventure came to an abrupt end in the semi-finals.

 A 4-0 withdrawal 

Visibly fatigued after their superb run,  Dammak / Ben Lallahom  were unable to fully defend their chances.

While they were being led  4-0 Mohamed Melek Dammak was forced to abandon the race, thus leaving  Roulleau / Du Gardin  to reach the final.

A frustrating outcome for them, but one that doesn't detract from the quality of their weekend.

 A final between TS1 and TS7 

The final of  P1000 2V2 Cormeilles  will therefore oppose:

 Gortzounian / Filho (TS1) vs Roulleau / Du Gardin (TS7) 

A match between the tournament's top favorites and an outsider pair who took advantage of opportunities to reach the end.

 The final will be broadcast at 13 p.m. 

A final match that will conclude this  P1000 2V2 Cormeilles , with a  The number 1 seed was logically present… but a title that will still have to be won on the track.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
