José Luis Lara Salines and Cédric Carité won the first P1000 Open Shilton Gentlemen at the Cap d'Agde International Center.

In the final, the Salines / Carité pair were opposed to the formidable French pair: Ferrandez / Ritz.

But the Franco-Spanish pair has just been too strong today for our French. She wins in 2 sets 6 / 3 6 / 2.

What to say about José Luis Lara Salines?

The Spanish has managed a great tournament delivering a particularly impressive performance even if his old demons can still resurface. But in this finale, he does not seem to have been particularly provocative.

Jerome Ferrandez, who speaks perfectly Spanish, seemed particularly annoyed and nervous. Even Jérémy Ritz, who has an exemplary behavior in general has struggled to contain himself on this final like this ball that he will send far into the sky due to some frustration on the ground.

What we believe is that these two players were aware of their fate and especially of the non-selection of Jérôme Ferrandez in Team France Padel for the 2018 World Qualifiers.

And the selected ones for the 2018 World Qualifiers are ...

But next to that, Salines managed to offer a very high level of play despite some irregularities of Cédric Cartié during this first day. Able in the air to hit hard as to play while touched.

Cédric Carité went on a diet during these two days. A complicated start, but a much better finish.

Ladies side, unfortunately, we will not manage to go to the end of the competition because of the rain.

2 pairs in the first place of the podium!
