The blue manage to reach the semi-finals of the European Championships of Padel Seniors +. And it will be against Italy for a remake of the last World Cup.

France beat Great Britain in 1/4

This morning, the French faced the Great Britain team in the quarter-finals. Victory of the French team after the 2nd match. Amélie Détrivière and Julie Pecastaing didn't cut corners.

They won the match 6/3 6/1 without expending too much energy. Their power and impact quickly made the difference. The 2nd match was much more laborious and complicated for the Fouquet-Maignien pair, who came out in the 3rd set with a score of 6/3 6/7 6/3, despite a match point in the second set.

A 2/0 victory which propels the team into the semi-finals and prevents the last pair from playing. The strategy this morning was to preserve the forces present for the open tournament of the afternoon, in order not to lose too much energy in a last match without stake.

The remake of the 2022 Worlds in Las Vegas will therefore take place!

It will be another France-Italy tomorrow morning at 9:30 am in the semi-final.

The French have been keen since the start of the competition to seek their revenge against the Squadra Azzurra, since the Italians had taken the upper hand in the decisive match last year.

This year, the players are somewhat different on both sides, and the French are more motivated than ever.

The Captain's watchword: “Conquering!”

It will be necessary to fight for every point in order to deserve a possible meeting with the great Spanish team in the final, who should manage to qualify against Sweden in the other semi-final.

In the open tournament, the French had to continue just a few hours after the end of France-Great Britain. Victory for the 3 pairs Détrivière/Pecastaing, Lalanne/Dechaume and Sorel/Lambregts, who all reach the semi-finals of their category.
