The team Padel Central managed to get this first final phase in his club. Congratulations to Jérôme Becasset who in addition to being your columnist Padel Magazine is also the president of the association Padel Club Lyon. Laurent Bériard and his team have obviously done a lot of work. They were the seed of padel from Lyon. Well done to them.

Padel Central Lyon will host the final phase of the 2015 French championship Padel. The information fell last night during their regional phase. Let's retrace the journey of Padel Central Lyon and the dynamism of the Lyonnais league, through the regional phase of the club.

The FFT believes in it hard as iron »

The FFT believes in the development of padel and she shows it:

  • At the national level: An unprecedented communication operation, notably with Roland-Garros
  • At the local level: many leagues and voluntary and applied committees. Although there are also some tennis leagues that will be launching into the padel next year for timing reasons.

Among these pioneer leagues, the Lyonnais league could act as a locomotive. The teams of President Jean WALLACH and himself immediately believed in the potential of padel.

Appraisal: They succeeded in accompanying this "big bang" of padel in the Rhône. The number of tracks available for padeleros Lyonnais has indeed gone from 1 to 12 in less than a year.

Jean Wallach, Lorie Paire and Lionel Mandrillon: Thoroughly Padel

Lorie PAIRE development manager and Lionel MANDRILLON organized the first Lyonnais de Padel on June 13 and 14 hosted by the Padel Club de Lyon on the facilities of Padel Central Lyons.

During 2 days, 24 men's teams and 4 women's pairs competed to determine the league's first league champions at the same time for the next stage leading to the French championships. The road should not be so important for the next stage ...

Saturday was devoted to the matches of the 6 boys groups formed on the basis of the Tennis rankings. Their results once again made it possible to verify that it is not enough to be well ranked in tennis to rank well in the padel.

After a turn-on for all pairs, the quarter-finals are formed. At the top of the table, Serge REISINGER and Simon DESLIENS fare after a good fight in two tight sets against Justin LOPES and Nicolas SENE. On their side Johann BERGERON and Pierre Étienne MORILLON come to the end of the beautiful combativity of Franck BOUAZIZ and Arnaud CHAFFANJON.

Below, Arnaud TABONI / Roman DUBOST CHAVRIER and Yoann CHARTRON / Olivier PLANCON will dryly respect the hierarchy facing Fabien LAGUNA / Frederick BAGNARD and Benjamin GARNIER / Bertrand LARDON.

First defeat for BERGERON / MORILLON

The semi-finals played between the 4 best pairs in the region will be indecisive and spectacular. First of all both petronas towers »Of the local club DESLIENS / REISINGER will surprise by inflicting their first defeat in official competition padel with cannibals Lyonnais BERGERON / MORILLON. A single break in the first set will be enough to win it 6/4 and after saving a set point in the tie-break of the second set, they will succeed in avoiding the lottery of the super-tie break. Final score: 6/4 7/6

Then TABONI / DUBOST CHAVIER will make the difference against CHARTRON / PLANCON on only a few points at the end of each set to win 6 / 4 7 / 5.

The Lyon women, rivals against the "big ones"?

On the girls' side, with only 4 pairs registered, no group matches we attack directly in the semi-final! And if the winners Naomie BEARCROFT and Julie RAVIER who beat Anaïse SINAPIN and Justine CLERET in the final have shown great potential, it will be interesting to see the famous pairs from the south against the pairs from Lyon.

REISINGER / DESLIENS: To watch very closely!

In the men's final, we have surely witnessed the blossoming of one of the best French players to see European (except Spain) for the years to come.

If it is no longer worth presenting Serge REISINGER with the legendary kick and the over-developed tactical sense which works wonders on the right, Simon DESLIENS has only 6 months of practice padel behind him and is already very impressive and complete on his left side. If Arnaud TABONI and Romain DUBOST CHAVRIER talentedly stood up to 4-4 in the first set, they could only admire and applaud Simon DESLIENS 'recital then which will scroll through the entire palette of the offensive player of padel to end this final with a score of 6/4 6/1.

Given the quality of play displayed by the two local players, this victory suffers no possible challenge. What will they be able to deal with more experienced pairs? We will see, but this pair will not be a gift for anyone.

Padel Central: The French center on October 17 and 18.

The final stages of the French championship padel 2015 will not take place at Padel Attitude (Lille), but at Padel Central Lyons.

It is the president of the league of Lyonnais who thus announced it officially: "the organization of the first French championships of padel next October 17-18 is entrusted to the Lyonnais league and the Padel Club de Lyon!"... Bravo to them.
