The Spanish shine in the sun at Place de la Victoire in Perpignan for the French Open of padel Gentlemen. But the match of the day on Saturday was certainly the incredible match between Lara Salines / Carité and Ferrandez / Gourre. The Franco-Spanish pair seemed on paper a tone above, however ...

If we know the fighting spirit of Jérôme Ferrandez which proves once again that he should not be buried too quickly in view of the European Championships of padel, it is especially Rémy Gourre who surprised his world. Very effective on the fly and in terms of consistency, in key moments it was certainly he who tipped the scales. They had to face Jose Luis Lara Salines in his diagonal. That is to say.

Jérôme Ferrandez did a great part. In his viewfinder: Cédric Carité. French will have been the target of the two French players. A paid tactic because at certain times of the game, Jose Luis Lara Salines was put completely in the fridge, thus attending a duel at 3 on the ground.

Victory in 3 sets of Ferrandez / Gourre 6 / 7 7 / 6 6 / 2.

She will meet the pair Alastuey / Maniucov, winner of the pair Trancart / Tournemire.

In the bottom of the table no surprise, we will find the seeded semi-finals.

  • 9h30: Ferrandez / Gourre vs. Alastuey / Maniucov
  • 11h: Resteva / Vasques vs Curto / Godo
