Summary of the round of 8 for these French Championships padel 2018 in Toulouse Padel Club. Overall no big surprises. The favorites have all managed to reach the quarter despite a huge fear of Ferrandez / Ritz who goes on the wire .. Back on these last matches.

In the ladies, nothing special, the favorites go quietly for the moment. The big games will be played starting tomorrow morning. The gaps in the girls are still important, but the good news, and it is emphasized once again, is the number of pairs engaged in this competition: 24. it is a real success because it is rare to see so many pairs of ladies involved in a competition. It's encouraging.

The match to follow tomorrow, certainly the confrontation between Sorel / Martin and Clément / Dechaume.

The match of 8e was the match of the pair Lovera / Panichi who gets away in 3 sets against Kik / Romanowski.

In the men, we were entitled to 3 matches in 3 sets including the most beautiful match of the day certainly: Ferrandez / Ritz vs. Landtsheere / Destombes.

We already knew it before, the Nordic pair are a specialist in exceptional matches against the big guys… but unfortunately for them, it does not go through. In the round of 8 against the seeded n ° 3, she was not far from creating the feat of these French championships of padel. Because the Ferrandez / Ritz pair is obviously a very difficult pair to handle. She has proven again that she has a mind of steel, even when there may be ups and downs. In 1/4, we will have to pass the Parisian cape Lapouge / Huet, a pair that could also annoy them greatly.

Logically, we will find Maigret / Tison vs Carité / Romanowski at the top of the table. However, at the bottom of the table, we knew that there were more uncertainties. The Roumy / Trancart pair passed against Authier / gauthier who therefore fell in their first round in 3 sets. The locals will play against the Haziza / Scatena pair which is playing quietly for the moment, even if we will keep a close eye on Jérémy Scatena's knee. Finally the last quarter-final will pit Julien Maigret / Yann Auradou against Bastien Blanqué / Johan Bergeron. The Parisian pair are underdogs in this match. But who knows.

Among the men, it is the Ile de France region which is almost faultless. It clearly shows that today it is the region with the richest number of competitive players. The pair Le Panse / Boulade will lose to Haziza / Scatena… 3 pairs out of 8 in 1/4. Nice score.
