Louise Bahurel  holds his first title on the  international circuit The Frenchwoman won the  FIP Bronze Osaka  alongside the Spanish  Ivet Val Lopez , at the end of a perfectly controlled week.

And yet, the hardest part awaited them in the final. Facing the number 1 seeds, the Spanish team  Carla Fernandez Gonzalez  et  Nerea Guerra Santana , two players from  world top 90 Bahurel and his partner delivered a top-level performance to secure the victory.  6 / 4 6 / 0 .

A landmark victory to conclude an almost perfect tournament.

Domination from start to finish

The Franco-Spanish pair had already set the tone from their very first match with a victory  6 / 0 6 / 0  face  Juli Sarkar  et  Yoko Kaneko .

In the round of 16, they continued their momentum by dominating  Feity Lesmana  et  Melati Anhar  ( 6 / 0 6 / 2 ), before outclassing the Indonesian women  Kintan Pratiwi Anwar  et  Anggia Shitta Awanda  in quarters ( 6 / 1 6 / 1 ).

The same scenario played out in the semi-final against the 4th seed.  Kotomi Ozawa  et  Riko Zawayanagi swept away  6 / 0 6 / 2 .

Then came the final, the true test of the tournament. Facing significantly tougher opposition, Bahurel and Val Lopez raised their game even further to claim a title that was beyond dispute.

A first title and 40 FIP points

The results are impressive:  No sets lost and only nine games conceded throughout the entire tournament .

Admittedly, the draw was not the toughest before the final, but the success against two players in the world's top 90 gives even more value to this first international title.

The Frenchwoman leaves Japan with  40 FIP points  And above all, she has reached a significant milestone in her young career. Having already been a finalist several times on the international circuit, she has finally won her first trophy.

A logical reward given his progress in recent months and his excellent season. By choosing to go to Asia,  Louise Bahurel was right to take the plunge. She returns with the first international title of her career and a prestigious victory against two players in the world's top 90.

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 !
