Le P1000 TSB Valenciennes delivered its verdict for the semi-finals, with a generally logical scenario… except for one part of the draw where the 3rd seed Dumoulin / Tardy crashed out as soon as it entered the competition. An early elimination that completely reshuffled the cards at the top of the table.
Perez Le Tiec / Deloyer maintain their position
In the lower part, Pierre Perez Le Tiec and Maxime Deloyer , seeded 1, have perfectly controlled their journey so far.
In their opening match, they dominated Simon / Le Godec on the score of 6 / 1 6 / 2 , before confirming their form in the quarter-final against Delbove / Desfougeres with a solid victory 6 / 2 6 / 3 .

In the quarter-finals, they then had to battle against Dandois / Houzeaux , before ultimately prevailing after a hard-fought battle: 4/6 7/5 6/3 .
A serious success that confirms their status as title contenders.
The surprise: Dumoulin/Tardy eliminated in the first round
The real impact of this painting comes from the fall of the 3rd seed Dumoulin / Tardy eliminated in the round of 16.
They fell to Bourgoin / Larose , at the end of a hard-fought match won 6 / 4 7 / 5 by the outsiders.
A great performance that clearly opened up this part of the draw.
And Bourgoin/Larose didn't follow up, as they were then stopped in the quarter-finals by Hidden / Morvan , winners 7/6 4/6 6/3 .
Olivier / Macchi move up from the bottom of the table
In the other half, Guillaume Olivier / Jérémy Macchi They too have secured their place in the final four.
After an authoritative victory against Fievet / Coppens ( 6 / 2 6 / 0 ), they confirmed their form in the quarter-finals against Audo / Cipri with success 3/6 6/3 6/0 .
A great run of form that sends them to the semi-finals, where they will face Perez Le Tiec / Deloyer .

- Fourichon / Deknuydt vs Cacheux / Morvan
- Perez Le Tiec / Deloyer vs Olivier / Macchi
With the The top two seeds are still in the running. The hierarchy is generally respected… but the premature departure of Dumoulin / Tardy has clearly reshuffled the cards in this Valenciennes edition.
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 !
