Léa Godallier / Mélissa Martin at the ladies e Bastien Blanqué / Johan Bergeron on the men's side win the first stage of the first edition of the FFT Padel Tour the 4PADEL Valenciennes.

If for the women, the logic was respected since the seeded n ° 1 of the table won after a complicated final and won against the surprising pair Meites / Ligi, it is with the men that we had the right to an exceptional final and the victory of Bergeron / Blanqué against the Parisian pair Tison / Maigret.

Back on this weekend at 4PADEL Valenciennes.

Godallier / Martin does the job

Great event for the ladies with the victory of Léa Godallier and Mélissa Martin in this first P2000 in the history of padel French. A raised plateau. This victory is a logical continuation for Martin / Godallier after taking his first steps in Spain in the professional world of the circuit of World Padel Tour. The pressure had to be managed and she did it with panache.

First in the semifinals, she played against Vo / Feaugas, the pair who had beaten her a few weeks ago at the P1000 de Beausoleil. If Godallier / Martin had a good match, Vo / Feaugas missed the semi-final a bit with a number of unprovoked fouls. Loss in 2 sets 6/3 6/3.

In the final, Godallier / Martin played against the 4 seed of the Meites / Ligi tournament. Hats off to this pair who will have achieved a beautiful tournament including a very nice semi-final against the dangerous pair Vandaele / Soubrié.

Recall that Marianne Vandaele is a former member of the team of France and with his partner, they have dropped the 2 seeded tournament: Lovera / Casanova in 2 sets (6 / 2 6 / 4).

A strange finale: Mélissa Martin and Léa Godallier fell into the false rhythm imposed by Line Meites and Fiona Ligi. On paper, Line and Fiona were not the favorites. Tactically, so they tried not to give rhythm to his hitters. A paid tactic, but insufficient to tip the scales. Victory in 2 sets of Godallier / Martin: 6 / 4 6 / 4.

Blanqué / Bergeron relaunch

What a final! What a journey! Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron should regain their first place in France following the victory over Adrien Maigret and Benjamin Tison in the final of the FFT Padel Tour Valenciennes. A huge final of 3 very tight sets: 7/6, 4/6, 7/5.

A very important victory that goes beyond the scope of this competition. For Blanqué / Bergeron, it is mainly a tournament that allows them to start their season after a complicated start in Spain. If Bastien and Jo no longer play together in Spain, they remain partners in France. And the magic continues to work for these two players who train and play in Spain.

Nevertheless Adrien Maigret and Benjamin Tison arrived in this tournament with the full of confidence and 0 defeated in France in 2019. Nearly 4 months of unbeaten and victories in the tournament against Carité / Lara Salines and especially Scatena / Bernils in the semifinals in "this part of death chart"As the players reminded him.

For Blanqué / Bergeron, it was their first big test after a victory gained relatively easily in the semifinal against Moreau / Ritz.

And yet, the French champions of padel in title deliver an exceptional service. They were few at the start of this final to believe in the success of Blanqué / Bergeron. She succeeded in thwarting the forecasts.

This first step launches the FFT Padel Tour on a very good dynamic. Second stop at the superb club in Esprit Padel Lyon from May 10 to 12.
