The Soavina Atmosphère pitch is ready to light up today for the third and final day of the group stage of the first edition of the Island Padel Cup. While the Mauritius team has already been eliminated after two consecutive defeats, all eyes are now on the clash between Madagascar and Reunion, a clash that will decide the first place in the group. This meeting will not only be an early final, but also strategic preparation for the grand final on Saturday. Both teams will be eager to improve their game and gain a psychological advantage before the final act of the tournament.
Yesterday’s meeting between Mauritius and Reunion was marked by intense celebrations. In the men’s division, the Reunion players won their match 2-1 (6/3, 6/7, 6/3 – 6/1, 6/0 – 4/6, 3/6). On the women’s side, the suspense was at its height. Anna Blue and Amélia dominated Elsa and Farah with a clear score of 6/1-6/1, before Mégane and Mélanie put the Mauritians back in the race by winning against Yoanne and Stéphanie with a score of 6/ 4, 2/6, 7/6 (16-8). However, Reunion Islanders Ludivine and Flore closed the day in style by beating Mauritian duo Alice-Cécile 6/2-6/2.
