P1500 Nancy: All top seeds reach semi-finals

At the women's P1500 VidaPadel Nancy, all four top seeds have reached the semi-finals. After Saturday's quarter-finals, the last four matches the seeding and promises high tension for Sunday. The 2026 edition of the tournament in the Lorraine city is shaping up as a battle among the favourites, with no outsider disrupting the semi-final line-up.

Bergaud and Hofer turn their quarter-final around

As top seeds, Laurine Bergaud and Alice Hofer led the women's draw and had to dig deep in the quarter-finals against Augustine Charpentier and Zia Debroy. The match started badly for the favourites: Charpentier and Debroy took the first set 6-3 and put early pressure on the leading pair.

In the following sets, however, Bergaud and Hofer showed the composure expected of the tournament's number one. They levelled in the second set 6-4 and dominated the decider 6-1. They remain on course for the title and will face the third seeds in the semi-finals.

Sportingly, it was the most emotional match of the quarter-final round. Bergaud and Hofer had to respond after dropping a set and find better answers in the decisive exchanges.

Bellussi and Pelan solid in the quarter-finals

In the other quarter of the women's main draw, Clara Bellussi and Lorie Pelan as third seeds progressed clearly. They beat Léna Ruillard-Tuco and Stéphanie Weil in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, reaching the semi-finals without major difficulty.

Bellussi and Pelan looked structured and efficient from the start. They controlled rally length, applied early pressure at the net and gave their opponents little room for a comeback. Ruillard-Tuco and Weil found too few answers against the third seeds' aggressive net game.

One of the most anticipated matches of the tournament is therefore already set before the semi-finals: Bergaud and Hofer against Bellussi and Pelan.

David-Bordier and Duchêne dominate their match

The fourth seeds probably delivered the most authoritative performance of all quarter-finals. Élise David-Bordier and Alexise Duchêne gave Margaux Amato and Elena Levenez no real chance and won 6-0, 6-2. A scoreline that underlines their current form and sends them into the semi-finals with plenty of confidence.

The first set in particular showed the pair's class. With a bagel they underlined their dominance from the outset and kept their opponents under constant pressure. They remained consistent in the second set too and reached the semi-finals with plenty of confidence.

Pestre Grange and Vichier stay on track

As second seeds, Amanda Pestre Grange and Lucie Vichier also fulfilled their task. They beat Anais Lafuente and Laura Robineau comfortably 6-3, 6-3 and reached the semi-finals without a nervy finish. All four seeded pairs remain in contention for the P1500 title in Nancy.

Pestre Grange and Vichier looked in control throughout. They found their rhythm early, defended solidly and converted their attacking moments consistently. In the semi-finals they face David-Bordier and Duchêne – a clash between two pairs who won their quarter-finals differently but convincingly.

Semi-final pairings confirmed

The tournament therefore delivers a semi-final at the highest level. In the first match, Laurine Bergaud and Alice Hofer as top seeds meet Clara Bellussi and Lorie Pelan as third seeds. In the second semi-final, Amanda Pestre Grange and Lucie Vichier as second seeds play Élise David-Bordier and Alexise Duchêne as fourth seeds.

• Semi-final 1: Laurine Bergaud / Alice Hofer (TS1) vs Clara Bellussi / Lorie Pelan (TS3)
• Semi-final 2: Amanda Pestre Grange / Lucie Vichier (TS2) vs Élise David-Bordier / Alexise Duchêne (TS4)

Both semi-finals will be played on Sunday morning and can be followed live on Padel Mag TV from 9:45 a.m. For fans of French women's padel, this is the sporting highlight of the week in Nancy: four top pairs, no outsider in the semi-finals and two matches that will decide the 2026 finalists.

P1500 VidaPadel Nancy once again confirms the quality of the national calendar. The quarter-finals offered different dramas – from a comeback by the top seeds to a clear two-set win and a dominant bagel performance by the fourth seeds. For spectators on site and via stream, Sunday morning promises two high-level matches.

Organisationally, the Nancy event is now entering its emotional final stretch. After a weekend of consistently high level, two semi-finals will decide the 2026 finalists.

Bergaud and Hofer, Bellussi and Pelan, Pestre Grange and Vichier, and David-Bordier and Duchêne each bring different strengths into the decisive matches.
