Le  P1500 MS Padel Vannes  will have offered two very high level semi-finals this Sunday morning, with a lot of intensity, suspense… and even several match points saved.

At the end of the match, the final will ultimately pit the number 1 seed against  Damien Bayard / Pierre Vincent  at the top of the 3rd seed  Simon Wagner / Tom Couturier .

Appointment from  14 p.m. live on Padel MagTV  to follow this final which promises to be huge.

 Bayard and Vincent were solid in the heat of the moment 

In the first semi-final, the favorites  Bayard / Vincent  had to fight extremely hard against  Norman Sanchez / Lucas Potel .

A victory of mental strength:  7 / 6 7 / 6 .

In this derby between  Mind Padel Lyon  et  All In The exchanges were very close from beginning to end and neither team really managed to take control of the match.

But in the important moments, Bayard and Vincent showed once again why they were considered favorites for the tournament.

Stronger in the tie-breaks, they were able to use their experience to secure their place in the final.

 Wagner and Couturier save match points again in a crazy match 

The other semi-final between the 2nd seed  Alexis Coulombeau / Arthaud Dumoulin  and seed 3  Simon Wagner / Tom Couturier  completely descended into madness.

After more than  2h30 of combat Wagner and Couturier prevailed after a suspenseful finish:  5/7 6/4 7/6 .

And the scenario is pretty crazy.

 A first set for Coulombeau and Dumoulin 

The first set was extremely close with a lot of breaks and re-breaks on both sides.

Tom Couturier struggled to get into his game and despite a very solid performance from Simon Wagner, the consistency of Alexis Coulombeau and Arthaud Dumoulin ultimately made the difference.

TS2 takes the first set:  7/5 .

 Simon Wagner is gaining momentum 

In the second round, the debates remained extremely close.

Each team gets four break points, but this time Wagner and Couturier convert their only opportunity.

Simon Wagner is clearly gaining momentum. The left-hander is doing a lot of damage with his smash, but also with his variations and drop shots.

With fewer unforced errors than their opponents, Wagner and Couturier leveled the match at one set apiece:  6/4 .

 A completely unreal tie-break 

The third set continued in the same vein with a huge battle between the two teams.

Opportunities to break exist on both sides but none are converted.

Heading towards a completely crazy tie-break.

And yet, Wagner and Couturier seem completely doomed: they are led  6/2  and must save… four match points.

But once again, they find the mental resources to survive.

Simon Wagner notably hit a magnificent winning drop shot, while Tom Couturier produced several huge points in the crucial moments. They saved another match point at 7-6, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1qYmlS_wWI, before finally securing the victory…  10 - 8 .

The day before, Wagner and Couturier had already saved three match points in the quarter-final against  Jules Marie / Julien Motz .

Once again, they survive the mental battle.

 A highly anticipated final at 14pm 

The final will therefore pit:

  •  Damien Bayard / Pierre Vincent (TS1) 
  • à  Simon Wagner / Tom Couturier (TS3) 

A highly anticipated match between the tournament favorites and the weekend's most heroic team.

Appointment from  14 p.m. live on Padel MagTV .

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 !
