What a match Thomas Vanbauce and Maxime Joris against the 3 seed of FIP Rise Utrecht, Guillem Figuerola Santiago (209) and Miguel Melero Bernal (178). After two and a half hours of combat and three match points saved, the French pair won in three sets: 4/6 7/5 7/6(1).
Bordeaux players Vanbauce and Joris suffered throughout their quarter-final against tough opponents... and favorites ! However, the Vanbauce / Joris duo did not let themselves be intimidated and, as always, gave their all on the track. Maxime and Thomas had already proven in the past that they were capable of winning against players ranked higher than them… and they did it again!
However, they came close to the exit door in Utrecht and even had to defend three match points. Without trembling, the French always stayed in their match to finally win, at the end of the suspense, in the tie-break of the third set!
Thomas Vanbauce and Maxime Joris are only only one victory from a potential final in the Netherlands. For the moment, they do not yet know their opponents, but tomorrow's match promises to be another great show.
Potential opponents:
- Bart Van Opstal (315) / Thijs Roper (211), seed 8
- Simone Cremona (110) / Afonso Fazendeiro (189), seed 2
It was his brother who one day told him to accompany him on a track. padel, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the broadcast of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
