Padel Magazine - Padel Arena did not see small during its inauguration on November 29. Firstly because this event actually lasted two days, notably with its tournament that the managers organized in parallel, but also because Padel Arena offered a beautiful evening of padel with an exhibition that allowed spectators to see almost the full scope of this sport and a small live jazz concert that closed this inauguration of the Padel Sand.

New players and not the least have also tested themselves at the padel with in particular the former Minister of Sports Valérie Fourneyron, Ugo Legrand, the bronze medalist in Judo at the Olympic Games of 2012 and the vice-champion of Europe in athletics on the 1500 meter, Kader Chékhémani who takes care today of the development of sport in Normandy:

To return to the tournament, it is the famous pair Sylvain Jimenez and Loic Lepanse of the Champigny and Servon club who won in 3 sets (6 / 3, 6 / 7, 6 / 3) against the club pair Pyramids Franck Binisti and Christophe Yves who had already passed very close to the defeat in the semi-final against a Franco-Spanish pair. Sylvain and Loïc did not deserve and fought to win this final since they were led by a break in the 3e set before returning to the game and win this final decisive set. They confirm that it is necessary to count on them and that it will be necessary to rely even more on them for the championships of France planned next year.
