Guichard and Blanqu\u00e9 were there at the right time<\/h2>\n

Their goal in Miami was clear: to reach the main draw<\/strong>. Facing Benitez Lara \/ Ortega, seeded 3 in the qualifying round, Dylan Guichard and Bastien Blanqu\u00e9 won the match they needed at the right time. <\/p>\n\n

More tactically correct, more solid in important moments and more consistent in the exchange, the French came out on top 6\/4 6\/2<\/strong> with authoritatively. A clear victory, built with control, against an experienced pair on the circuit. <\/p>\n\n

This performance is all the more significant as it validates their build momentum in this Miami P1. Guichard and Blanqu\u00e9 didn’t just win: they imposed their tempo and took the match by storm. <\/p>\n

A two-stage route to the final main draw<\/h2>\n

Qualification for the French was a gradual process in this Miami P1 event. In the first round, Dylan Guichard and Bastien Blanqu\u00e9 had to work hard to topple Ferran Gonzalez Zamorano and Juan Francisco Gonzalez in three sets, 4\/6 6\/3 6\/1, after a tricky start. <\/p>\n\n

This first outing revealed a few adjustments to be made, but also a real margin for improvement. In the following round, against Benitez Lara \/ Ortega, seeded 3 in the qualifying round, the French pair showed a much more accomplished face: more control on the diagonals, more consistency at the net and cleaner management of important points. Their performance in Miami was a clear demonstration of their build momentum, culminating in qualification for the main draw. <\/p>\n

Qualification validated by clear-cut stats<\/h2>\nThe numbers from the match confirm this impression of control, both on serve and on the return.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The French negotiated the important points better, kept control of the exchanges and were more effective when the score tightened. This victory was no hold-up: it was the reward for a clean, structured and controlled performance. \n\nThis promotion is undoubtedly the most encouraging sign of their week. After a bumpier start, the French pair showed greater density in the diagonals, better management of dips and a more consistent presence at the net. \n\nThe next step is already known: the official Miami P1 website<\/a> and the official main draw<\/a> now announce a first round against Alonso Rodriguez Martinez and Juan Ignacio De Pascual, also from the qualifying round. For Guichard and Blanqu\u00e9, the challenge now is to contract extension on this fine sequence and show that this qualification can serve as a real point of reference for the rest of their season. \n\nTo remember:<\/strong>\n

    Guichard and Blanqu\u00e9 are in the final draw of the Miami P1, and this qualification is no mean feat: the Frenchmen first of all had to get through a tough first round before taking out the seeded 3 qualifiers, Miguel Benitez Lara and Mario Ortega, by a score of 6\/4 6\/2. This gave a new dimension to their week in Florida and boosted their momentum on the Premier Padel tour. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[210,353,196],"tags":[],"tmauthors":[308],"class_list":{"0":"post-109351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fip","8":"category-padel-france","9":"category-premier-padel-tour"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109351"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109353,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109351\/revisions\/109353"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109351"},{"taxonomy":"tmauthors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/actu-padel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tmauthors?post=109351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
