After knocking out the number 1 seed in qualifying, Adrien Maigret and Olivier Guy de Chamisso confirm their excellent momentum by winning 6 / 4 6 / 4 face Arthur Hugounenq and Juan José Domínguez (seeded 7). The two Frenchmen thus validate their main draw ticket of the FIP Platinum Lyon, after perfectly mastered qualifications.
A pair in full confidence
Carried by a Adrien Maigret very solid on the fly and Olivier Guy de Chamisso inspired by his side Right, the French were solid in this match. Their complementarity and intensity made the difference against a Hugounenq / Domínguez pairing that was solid but a tone below par on key points and struggling on returns.
Already authors of the big sensation of the first round by eliminating the seed 1 (Di Giovanni / Giuliani), Maigret and Guy de Chamisso confirm and become the first French pair to qualify for the final tableTheir next opponent remains to be determined, but one thing is certain: they will fall right away against a big international pair.
French women also present
For the ladies, the pair Chiara Messina / Elsa Pellegrinelli (wildcard) first qualified without playing, taking advantage of the forfeit of Dellagnese / Ronchini. On the other hand, in the next round, the young French women lost. 6 / 4 6 / 4 facing the 3th seed Steffi Merah / Marie-Amélie Dardaine.
A logical victory, but far from easy for Merah and Dardaine, who had to work hard to win. Thanks to this success, they also join the main table. Two 100% French pairs will therefore see the final table, symbol of successful qualifications for the tricolor camp.
The two duos are now waiting to find out their opponents, but one thing is certain: They will have a lot to do as soon as they enter the competition.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
