The club Let Padel in Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin welcomes this weekend the first P1000 in the Center-Val-de-Loire region. This Saturday gave way to a busy schedule.

Three rounds were on the program for this day: the round of XNUMX, the round of XNUMX and the quarter-finals of the tournament.

The favorites ensure despite some surprises

In the round of XNUMX, we were treated to a few surprises, in particular with the elimination of the seed number 6, Gonzalez / Catteau-Eycken, as well as that of the seeded number 5, Insausti/Cazes-Carrere.

These were dominated by Etienne Brouillard and Eliot Deknuydt, bowing on the score of 6/4 6/4. Gonzalez and Catteau-Eycken, meanwhile, were defeated by the younger players Dumoulin/Pillon, in a match played 6/4 0/6 6/3. Despite a slump in the second set, Arthaud and Lucas were able to come back mentally and put in a good performance by eliminating the seeded number 5.

Results of the 1/4 finals

In the quarter-finals, the hierarchy was respected. Gautier Boutel and Romain Coirault, seeded number 2, experienced some scares against Dumoulin and Pillon. After winning the first set 6/4, Boutel and Coirault were put in trouble by Arthaud and Lucas. In the second heat, the TS11 came back to par. However, in the decisive set, Dumoulin and Pillon lacked precision. Thanks to their experience, Gautier Boutel and Romain Coirault managed to make the difference and qualified for the semi-finals with a score of 6/4 4/6 6/4.

Marc Durieux and Mathieu Paumard produced a remarkable performance against Damien Lozano and Pierre Perez Le Tiec. The first round tipped in favor of the finalists of the previous P1000 in Dunkirk. However, the Normans Paumard and Durieux raised their level of play to take the advantage. The number 3 seed won in three sets: 5/7 6/3 6/4.
