The Cedars Club side was not mistaken about the level of the pairs invited. This Saturday, a very beautiful spectacle was offered to the amateurs of padel castrais.
From the first rounds of the tournament, the first sensation was created by the pair Lou Lambert/Kimy Barla, who eliminated the number 2 seed, Marie Maligo/Melanie Ros, respectively 9th and 5th French players. After a hard-fought match (6/3, 3/6, 6/2), Lou and Kimy achieved a real feat by winning against one of the favorites for the final victory.
The first quarter-final was between Lou Lambert and Kimy Barla à Marie Boura and Deborah Alquier. At the end of a match with a contrasting scenario, Marie and Deborah won. However, the start of the first set suggested a new feat by the young players, who had several set points without ever managing to convert them. They also lost crucial points, unlike their opponents, whose experience made the difference. The latter knew how to capitalize on each important opportunity, which resulted in a score of 7-6 Years, 6-1 Years, far removed from the level of play displayed on the pitch.

I took a bubble in my first tournament Padel. Since then, it has become a passion,
with one goal: to never again finish a game without scoring a goal. This sport is
now an integral part of my life, to the point of leaving feathers there. I often burn myself
elbows trying to catch all the balls. "A true love story."
