Les Bleus beat Portugal in the match for third place at the 2022 World Padel Championship in Dubai!

This is historic for French padel! Indeed, for the first time a French men's team has brought home a medal from a World Championship (the girls finished third in 2012)! Faced with the tournament surprise, Pablo Ayma's players delivered a very good performance to come away with the victory. As against Paraguay and Italy, it was Thomas Leygue and Bastien Blanqué who offered the decisive point to the French team!

The joy of Bastien Blanqué and Thomas Leygue

Faced with a Miguel Oliveira and an Afonso Ramos certainly less inspired than against Brazil, the champions of France were once again very strong to allow their selection to win the confrontation. They somehow avenge Johan Bergeron and Jérémy Scatena who were not not far from victory against the Deus brothers. Earlier in the afternoon, Adrien Maigret and Benjamin Tison had perfectly launched the team.

Pablo Ayma, for his first at the head of the tricolor selection had said France had a chance against the Lusitanians, And he was not wrong ! The competition therefore ends perfectly for the Blues, with this superb performance. A medal that will cheer up the hearts of French supporters, and which comes a little mitigate this disappointment for the women's selection which however managed to end with a victory against Germany.
