On Reus Junior World Championships close on a beautiful tricolor harvest and... a page that turns. With three bronze medals In the Open Pairs, the French delegation shone, but saw several of its pillars leave and will no longer be eligible next year.

Fonteny and Boronad, the bosses' farewell

At the U18 boys, Yoan Boronad et Timeo Fonteny confirmed their leadership status by winning the match for 3rd place against the Italians Giovannini / Sargolini (7/6 6/2). A solid victory that concludes a superb run, only stopped in the semi-final by the Paraguayans. Dehnike / Gonzalez.
The two young Frenchmen therefore leave the category on a deserved podium, after having also carried the French team towards the collective bronze. True headliners of this golden generation, they are now expected among seniors, where they could very quickly become pillars of the French adult teamTheir constant progress and maturity suggest a bright future under the French flag.

Barla and Lambert Agosti, rewarded for their efforts

At the U18 girls, Lou Lambert Agosti et Kimy Barla also took 3rd place. Beaten in the semi-final by the Spanish Escacena Montero / Foguer Lapuente, the French women took advantage of their opponents' withdrawal to secure a well-deserved medal. Once again, an iconic duo bowed out after having shone both individually and as a team.

A transition already underway

These departures mark the end of a generation, but not the end of French ambitions. Behind them, a promising new generation is already preparing: with players such as Olivier Guy de Chamisso or Quentin Bernard who should take a step forward to take over in U18.

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 !
