Qatar World Cup: the Spaniards too strong for the Blues

As with girls, Spain did not do in detail against the French men's team.

We knew, in view of the players present in the Spanish selection, the mission of the French men's team was almost impossible. The stars of World Padel Tour will have been intractable and will have left only 8 games to our tricolors. It must be said that compared to Marbella, the Spaniards have further improved their team, with an addition of size, the number one pair in the WPT standings, Lebron and Galan. As the French champions say, these two players who dominate the padel world for almost two years, are just too strong.

The Blues approached the meeting with a lot of seriousness and they can congratulate themselves on not having given up. They will have fought well against players who will have respected them from start to finish. As during the meeting of the girls, we have the feeling that over the three matches, a few games could have been grabbed in addition ... But once again, the very high level does not forgive and during the games hung, the players of Juanjo Gutierrez have often been able to move up a gear. Tomorrow, a dream final awaits them against Argentina, which has just disposed of Brazil.

On the French side, we can congratulate ourselves on having given everything and always encouraging his teammates. The boys and girls will have shown some great streaks today and we hope that they will give them a little confidence for the two big games that await them tomorrow. The girls are already preparing their match against Italy, while the boys will have to rest well for the big fight that awaits them tomorrow against Brazil. In view of the players present at the auriverde, the Blues will not start favorites but we hope that they will be able to create THE surprise of this Qatari World Cup!

  • Lebron / Galan beats Bergeron / Tison 6/0 6/2
  • Navarro / Coello beats Blanqué / Leygue 6/1 6/2
