Only one change in the composition

Pablo Ayma almost the same team as against Germany. The only change: Timo Fonteny replaces Maxime Joris to support Benjamin Tison on the central courtThe two men will face Sten Richters et Thijs Roper, the top-ranked Dutch pair and regulars at the FIP circuit.

Behind, the “BB” Johan Bergeron et Bastien Blanqué will be aligned again facing Youp de Kroon et Julian Prins, While Dylan Guichard et Manuel Vives, French champions in title, will close the match against Bart Van Opstal et Menno Nolten.

An opposition not to be underestimated

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 !
