Many  P1000  were on the agenda this weekend in France, with very different scenarios.  My Center Palavas The men's draw was marked by the early exit of the top seeds, while in the women's draw,  Lisa Bognard / Marie Maligo  knocked out TS1 in the final.  4PADEL Challans ,  Alexis Arette-Hourquet / Paul Dornberger  had to overcome several difficult situations to leave with the title.

Bognard / Maligo without losing a set in Palavas

In the women's section  P1000 My Center Palavas The hierarchy had generally been respected until the final, with the top four seeds present in the final four.

The final therefore pitted  Nada Majdoubi / Jennifer Denecheau (TS1)  à  Lisa Bognard / Marie Maligo (TS2) .

And it was the tournament's number 2 players who took the lead. After a controlled first set  6/4 They have completely taken control to conclude  6/1 .

A victory that comes to a close...  perfect tournament Since Bognard and Maligo did not concede a single set: victory  6 / 4 6 / 2  in eighth grade,  6 / 2 6 / 2  in quarter,  6 / 3 6 / 4  against Messina/Isaac in the semi-final, then  6 / 4 6 / 1  finally.

It's about their  second P1000 won together , after a first title in July. Individually,  Bognard secures his fifth P1000 of the season , against a fourth for Maligo.

Schbeir/Armand are taking advantage of a completely open draw

For men, the scenario was much more eventful since the  Four top seeds were eliminated in the round of 16. .

A massacre that notably benefited  Joshua Schbeir / Florian Armand (TS5) But they still had to seize the opportunity, and both players did so perfectly.

They too are finishing their tournament  without losing a single set After a success  6 / 3 6 / 1  For their first match, they followed up  6 / 1 6 / 2  in quarter then  6 / 2 6 / 4  in the semifinals.

In the final, they faced the tournament's biggest surprise,  Florian Hue / Pierre Cailletaud (TS16) They had taken advantage of the opening of the draw after the fall of TS1, while also achieving three performances against the  TS7, TS11 and TS9 .

But Schbeir/Armand ended their run with a victory  6 / 2 6 / 4 .

Un  Florian Armand's third P1000 this season while Joshua Schbeir transforms his first final in the category into  first P1000 title .

Arette-Hourquet / Dornberger once again turn the tables in Challans

The side of  P1000 FJ Lawyer / 4PADEL Challans The top two seeds lived up to expectations to reach the final.

 Alexis Arette-Hourquet / Paul Dornberger (TS1)  faced  Guillem Perez Le Tiec / Jérémy Garcia (TS2) .

The number 2 seed takes a hard-fought first set in a tie-break.  7/6 But as they had already done in the quarter-final after conceding the first set  6/1 Arette-Hourquet and Dornberger are not panicking.

 Paul Dornberger is gradually gaining momentum , the TS1 finds the break at  2/1  in the second set and maintains his advantage to level the score,  6/3 .

The same scenario played out in the deciding set. This time, the break came at  2/2 With a very consistent Dornberger and a  Arette-Hourquet, which finished particularly strong TS1 no longer allows its opponents to return and concludes  6/7 6/3 6/3 .

First P1000 for Arette-Hourquet

A particularly important victory for  Alexis Arette-Hourquet After several top finishes, the 23-year-old player finally takes the title.  his first title in P1000 .

For Paul Dornberger, this success confirms an already successful season: he adds a  fourth P1000 in 2026  to his record.

A weekend that therefore rewarded three pairs with different backgrounds:  Bognard / Maligo  continuing their excellent momentum,  Schbeir / Armand  perfectly opportunistic in a disrupted landscape and  Arette-Hourquet / Dornberger  capable of turning games around when their backs were against the wall.

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 !
