Mai Vo / Léa Godallier and Benjamin Tison / Adrien Maigret win the first stage of the My Padel Tour 2018. This stage took place at the BIG PADEL BORDEAUX, the new club of padel composed of 7 fields of padel.

In a great setting, we had the right to some very nice matches of padel.

Vo / Godallier: things go smoothly!

In the women's tournament favorites, Mai Vo and Léa Godallier won the MPT stage without blinking. The local pair did not have to deploy to get to the end. She did not lose a set and was never in danger in this tournament.

In the final, against the Martin / Sorel pair, we hoped to see a more balanced match. But Godallier / Vo was more dangerous in the blocks and more regular in the game. Final victory 6/3 6/2.

Note the small alert Géraldine Sorel with a little rebel ankle. At first, more fear than harm.

Tison / Maigret: Again them!

This Sunday, the big match was obviously this semifinal between Justin Garnier / Simon Boissé and Spain's José Luis Lara Salines / Jorge De Benito.

Already very jostled, especially against the pair Loubic / De Barbeyrac in 8e, the Spanish pair will once again succeed in the tie-break of 3e set in the semi-finals. But at what cost !

At the end of the second set, Salines injured his leg. However, "the animal" manages with the help of his partner Jose De Benito to win the match. The Boissé / Garnier pair emerge frustrated from a match that seemed to be promised to them. " Playing against a diminished player is never easy, especially when it is a wound that allows you to play Says Justin Garnier. Indeed, the injury hurt our French and they had trouble adopting the right strategy.

Tison / Maigret side, a very serious tournament on their part. She clearly positions herself as a serious pair in the team padel France for the World Championships Padel 2018. Too serious, too regular, too fast. It could have been their adage this weekend as she was above the fray.

In the semifinals, against the beautiful Corbelli / Le Panse pair, the difference in pace between the two pairs was obvious. Despite good points and a Sébastien Corbelli / Loïc Le Panse

particularly sharp, they did not succeed or could find the keys to shake the Parisian pair. Corbelli / Le Panse, a first association we would like to see again ...

Despite rather slow conditions, the balls often ended up outside the field, left and right. Able to take the ball very early, the pair Maigret / Tison leaves very little time for opponents to organize.

The Spanish pair, admittedly diminished due to an injured Jose Luis Lara Salines, have never been able to counter the power of the French game. Victory for Tison / Maigret: 6/2 6/2.

A first step of the My Padel Very successful tour

Laurent Imbert and Alexis Salles offer a quality Elite circuit. The first step starts with perfection. Despite, some defections among the top French players due to stages of the World Padel Tour this weekend, we can observe a general level of higher and this from the qualifying phases.

For girls, the level is clearly (finally!) Evolving, especially with the arrival of many tennis players who boost the padel female.
