THEOpen Padel 3 in Troyes had some big surprises in store for us, with seeds 2, 3, 5 and 6 eliminated as soon as they entered the tournament.

The young pair Olivier Guy de Chamisso / Charles Gortzounian, half a surprise, won in two sets (6/3 6/3) against Muesser / Molinero, before confirming in the quarter-finals with a victory in two sets (6/4 6/4) against Dimitri Huet / Clément Filho. Guy de Chamisso and Gortzounian will meet the number 4 seed, Basso / Robert, in the semi-finals. The match, scheduled for 10am, will be broadcast live on Padel Magazine TV.

In the lower part of the draw, the number 6 seed, Groll / Garcia, was eliminated in the first round by Dupont Brinbeauf / Fabre, who are offered a semi-final against the number 1 seed, Garcia / Perez le Tiec. The latter, rather quiet until now, will be the big favorites in this semi-final.
