The men's final P2000 4PADEL Bordeaux offered a very high-level scenario between the two best pairs in the tournament:
la seeded 1, Thomas Leygue / Bastien Blanqué, in front of the seeded 2, Thomas Vanbauce / Dylan Guichard.

A controlled start by the favorites

In the first round, Leygue and Blanqué quickly set their own pace.
More homogeneous, very robust in exchange, they obtain 6 break points and control the debates.

Dylan Guichard is gradually getting up to speed, but Vanbauce is going through a difficult period, with too many unforced errors.
Logically, the TS1 takes the set 6/3.

The awakening of Vanbauce / Guichard

The second set turns.
Vanbauce reduces his errors, becomes sharper on the smash, and with Guichard, they take the lead. 4/1.

À 5/3As they serve for the set, Leygue and Blanqué level the score, but the second seed doesn't give up, the coaching of Jean-Thomas Peyrou makes the difference.
New break at 5/5and TS2 concludes the round 7/5.

The match is completely back on.

A third set of mental fortitude

The final set is a real battle. The service games are close, fatigue is setting in, and Vanbauce is showing some difficulty… but he holds on.

À 5/5Experience speaks for itself: Leygue / Blanque They find the opening at the best moment, break away, then finish with authority. 7/5.

Another reference for Blanqué / Leygue

Thomas Leygue secures his 8th P2000, while Bastien Blanqué achieves his 14th title in P2000, and stay undefeated alongside Thomas Leygue since 2021 on the French circuit.

As for Thomas LeygueHaving returned from injury, this tournament confirms a reassuring return to form for the rest of the 2026 season. Even though he confirmed to us on the microphone: “it was very tough physically, I’m not back to 100%”.

Benjamin Dupouy

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 !
