Sunday July 26 the Ligue des Pays de Loire organized the regional phase of padel qualifying for the French championship.
Sport in Park was obviously the club chosen by the league to host this stage. Considered as the 1st structure to embark on the padel full indoor in France (September 2012) in Saint Berthevin on the outskirts of Laval, the event was organized by Frédérick Fouchard, development advisor (FFT) and Simon Boissé, the future sports manager of the structure in charge of padel/ squash / badminton.
14 men's teams and 2 women's teams gathered to do battle.
Composed from tennis rankings, the men's table gave rise to some great meetings in perspective ...
Many thought that the n ° 1 would easily win this final phase. Why ? Because with a Vincent Stouf (French n ° 80) associated with Simon Blondin (0), on paper it was heavy.
Note the good performance of the No. 11 seed, Vivien Théolier and José Luis Maruenda Sanchez who reached the final.
Many were present for the first time on a field of padel revealing some revelations for some.
In the female table, Séverine Huet and Mallory Preel win over Anne Pascale Brosseron and Katia Duval.
Mayenne will be represented by 2 pairs in the French championship and is for the moment similar to the locomotive of padel within the Pays de La Loire region.
