It's hard to imagine a better scenario to close the story of the  P1500 males For the last tournament of this category before its transition to  P2000 from September , the final of  4PADEL Orléans-Fleury / Opposite Centre Loire  pitted the top two seeds against each other:  Pierre Vincent / Damien Bayard (TS1)  face  Clément Filho / Charles Gortzounian (TS2) .

And these are ultimately the leaders of the category,  Vincent and Bayard who had the last word. Victory  6/3 6/4 in 1h14  to get their  fifth P1500 set .

Vincent/Bayard immediately take control

The number 1 seed didn't wait long to impose its rhythm.

From the very first set,  Vincent/Bayard break right away  and quickly take control.  3/0 An advantage they will manage perfectly until the end of the round.

More offensive and, above all, capable of accelerating much more consistently, they prevent Filho/Gortzounian from truly establishing their game. While not completely outclassed, TS2 never manages to close the gap.

First set:  6/3 .

The difference made in attacking play

The second set is more balanced. Both teams hold to their commitments until...  3/3 , the moment chosen by Vincent / Bayard to strike.

A break at the perfect moment, then a perfectly controlled end to the match to conclude  6/4 .

The statistics pretty much sum up the nature of this final. Both pairs committed almost the same number of unforced errors:  22 for Vincent/Bayard against 21 for Filho/Gortzounian .

The real difference lies elsewhere:  44 winning points for Vincent/Bayard against only 29 for their opponents An ability to take the initiative and finish points that proved crucial throughout the match.

A great Pierre Vincent

In this domain,  Pierre-Vincent  will have been decisive once again.

He was very active offensively, covering a lot of ground and making numerous bursts of speed to create opportunities. He finished the match with statistics far superior to the other players and was one of the key architects of this victory.

Opposite,  Clément Filho and Charles Gortzounian  They experienced more ups and downs. Less consistent and, above all, less impactful offensively, they never really managed to put the number 1 seed under sustained pressure.

A fifth P1500 to conclude the story

This new title primarily confirms the incredible dominance of  Pierre Vincent and Damien Bayard  in this category.

Since last summer, the two men have won  five P1500s together This represents a large portion of the tournaments played during this period. It's therefore difficult to imagine a more symbolic pairing to win the very last one.

It is also important to highlight the very impressive journey of  Filho / Gortzounian Clément Filho has just returned from injury and is already managing to reach a  P1500 final alongside Charles Gortzounian, who also had a solid tournament.

But for the latter, the bosses were a cut above.

 Pierre Vincent and Damien Bayard win the fifth P1500 for their association and, above all, become the last winners in the history of the category.  An almost logical conclusion for two players who have made their mark on the P1500 in recent months.

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 !
