The two French pairs still engaged in the Senior World Open Plus 2024 played this morning, on the sidelines of the ladies team final.
On the French side, there were still two pairs that could hope to win gold. Among those over 55, these are Olivier Launo et Jean-Marc Lagloire who were trying to win the final, against the Spaniards Ricardo Charfole Cernuda and Francisco Javier Rodriguez Blanco.

The French lost the first set 6/4, before going to get the second 6/3, to snatch a super decisive tie-break which served as the third set. Despite a nice comeback on the part of Launo/Lagloire, they could not develop their best padel in the super tie-break, lost 10/2.
