CAP Tennis Padel Secures Regional Spot After Dominant Victory Over Aixe-sur-Vienne
The CAP Tennis Padel men’s second team has officially locked in its position for next season, ensuring their continued presence at the regional level. In a decisive home clash this past Sunday, the Périgueux-based squad delivered a commanding 5-1 performance against Aixe-sur-Vienne during the fourth day of the regional team championship.
Competing in the DSR B division, the “Capistes” utilized their home-court advantage to dismantle their opponents, securing the points necessary to guarantee their maintenance in the division. For those unfamiliar with the French regional structure, the DSR B represents a competitive tier where consistency and depth are paramount; by securing this result, CAP has removed any uncertainty regarding their status for the upcoming year.
Singles Dominance Sets the Tone
The foundation of the 5-1 victory was built on a flawless run in the singles matches. Four CAP players stepped up to claim victories, showcasing a blend of power and endurance that Aixe-sur-Vienne struggled to match.
Adrien Lançon, ranked 5/6, opened the scoring with a clinical performance against a 15/1 opponent, winning 6-1, 6-3. This momentum continued with Bertrand Maupain (ranked 15), who survived a tight first set to overcome his 15/1 opponent 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in a gritty three-set battle.
The efficiency continued as Dorian Brachet (ranked 15) mirrored Lançon’s dominance, dispatching his 15/1 opponent with a swift 6-1, 6-1 victory. The singles sweep was completed by Pascal Vierge (ranked 15/3), who faced an opponent of equal ranking. Vierge took control of the match early, leading 6-1 before the match ended in an abandonment, sealing the singles victory for the home side.
Mixed Results in Doubles
While the singles matches provided a cushion, the doubles circuit offered a more varied outcome. Pascal and Julien Beylot secured a point for the team via a forfeit, contributing to the overall 5-1 scoreline.
The only blemish on the day came in the pairing of Adrien Lançon and Dorian Brachet. Despite their individual success in singles, the duo fell to their opponents in a competitive match, losing 6-4, 6-4. However, the loss was a mere formality in terms of the standings, as the result had already shifted the mathematical reality of the division in CAP’s favor.
A Hub for Tennis in Dordogne
