The first tournament of World Padel Tour in France offered a very great show with the best of padel all week and a final victory of Germán Tamame / Nacho Gadea. 

It was also the last Challenger outside of Spain. At the end of this week rich in padel, the two best pairs of the week clashed logically in the final. Maxi Grabiel / Ramiro Moyano against Germán Tamame / Nacho Gadea. 

All the indicators announced a tight match like the 2 semi-finals of the day before… But the match gave birth to a strange match.

The match may have been played in the 2e game of the 1er set. Tamem / Gadea leaves his feet on the floor by immediately breaking Gabriel / Moyano. It was then that there was a big fight in this famous 2e set where the breaked could have returned in the game ... In vain. Break confirmed for the 8th seeded table.

During the 7th game, Tamame / Gadea achieves the second break in the famous 7th game to win the first set 6/2.

In the second set, we were waiting for a reaction from Mooyano / Grabiel. But here too, it will be futile. Tamame / Gadea makes a perfect match by typing where it hurts. Impossible for Grabiel / Moyano to really start this game with bad mistakes committed by both players.

The underdogs on the paper of this part finally win the second round on the score of 6 / 0.

A fast match that does not really sum up the tight scores of the week with in particular two semi-finals which ended in 3 sets.

Germán Tamame and Nacho Gadea are the champions of the first Challenger of padel on French land: The Challenger WinWin Padel of Cabriès that the World Padel Tour oddly named the “Marsella Challenger”.
