“It was a combination of circumstances to be together again.” Sunday, at the “4 padel” complex in Colomiers, Toulouse’s Nicolas Trancart and Yoann Roumy did not miss their return to competition by winning, for the second time, the departmental championship.
“But our level of play was far below what I expected. We are able to do much better”, tempers Nicolas, licensed at Toulouse Padel Club. For his part, Yoann (without a club, but dismissed from Committee 31) was starting a new cycle: “After a big injury, I had to stop for more than two years. Last year, I was able to take part in two events. . In this departmental championship, it was very complicated. I had a lot of pain, I was a little sick. I cannot say that our level of play was high. But Nicolas supported me well. My priority is to be able to replay, chain practices and matches at 100%. “
With this title, the duo validates their ticket for the regional stage, scheduled for June 26 and 27 in Béziers. “If we qualify for France, it will only be a bonus”, concedes Nicolas, revenge after his non-selection for the internship with the France team for the European Championships “because of an injury at the start of ‘year.”
Cadel and Bukaczewski titled without playing
On the other hand, in the women’s table, the pair Laurie Cadel-Christelle Bukaczewski (Toulouse Padel Club) finished on the highest step without giving the slightest stroke of the racket. “There were only two women’s teams involved. But the other pair had to forfeit. So, yes, at the time, there is a little frustration,” admits Laurie Cadel. The Toulousaines will also be part of the trip to Béziers.
