The French Thomas Vanbauce et Julien Seurin, seeded No. 5, delivered a very big match in the semifinals of FIP Silver Reunion II, but ultimately bow to the Spanish Facundo Domínguez et Mario Huete (seeded number 2) with a score of 4/6 6/3 6/3.

A perfect start for the French

In one first high intensity set, the French struck first. Very early in the match, Thomas Vanbauce was inspired in attack, scoring winning points on both volleys and smashes. Well supported by a Julien Seurin solid and constant, the French duo took control of the game. They cemented their domination by winning the first set 6/4, in an incredible atmosphere on the island of Reunion.

The Spanish react and turn the situation around

But as the second set progressed, the Spanish Domínguez and Huete, two players from the world top 100, found their rhythm. More precise, more consistent and efficient in return, they began to avoid the Vanbauce diagonal and to prolong the exchanges. The French, a little less sharp, conceded the second set 6/3.
In the third, the scenario repeats itself: the Spanish move up another notch. Despite the resistance and fighting spirit of the French, they end up losing. 6/3 after more than an hour and a half of play.

An encouraging journey

Despite this defeat, the tournament remains very positive for the two Tricolors.

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 !
