P1000 Guilers: Robert and Guy de Chamisso win
The P1000 at Ti Break Guilers delivered exactly what many in the French padel scene had expected: an intense weekend, packed schedules, full stands, and a final played at a remarkable level. In the end, the spotlight belonged to Jérémy Robert and Olivier Guy de Chamisso, who defeated top seeds Maxime Forcin and Maxime Deloyer in two hard-fought sets. With a 6-4, 7-5 win, they secured not only the title but also a strong competitive statement at an event that drew extra attention thanks to its 10,000-euro prize purse.
A final with clear phases and high intensity
From the opening rallies, it was clear that Robert and Guy de Chamisso had arrived with a precise match plan. Both played boldly in key moments without losing control of risk. While Forcin and Deloyer also produced many winners, the difference in the first set came mainly from the error count. The number-two seeds made fewer unforced mistakes and were therefore able to build longer pressure sequences, which ultimately produced the decisive breaks.
Particularly striking was the stability on the diagonal side, where Jérémy Robert defended cleanly for long stretches while actively creating openings. On the opposite side, Olivier Guy de Chamisso repeatedly made the difference with decisive net play and forceful finishing. Forcin and Deloyer found solutions at times and recovered one break, but overall control of the set stayed with their opponents. After 27 minutes, the 6-4 scoreline accurately reflected the flow of the opening phase.
More swings in the second set
In the second set, the dynamics shifted. The overall level remained high, but the pattern became more fragmented and hectic because both teams committed more direct errors. Deloyer visibly raised his level, took initiative more often in rallies, and pulled his side back into a more balanced position. Long service games and several deuce situations showed that the final had moved into a tactical patience battle where every small decision carried weight.
At 5-5, Robert and Guy de Chamisso took exactly the small window that often decides late stages. With aggressive returns, clean first volleys, and disciplined court positioning, they forced the break at the ideal moment. In the following service game, they stayed calm under pressure, placed their first serves accurately, and closed the set 7-5 after another 28 minutes. The result reflects a final that was not one-sided, but clearly tilted toward the eventual winners in decisive moments.
The title run was no coincidence
The final success did not stand alone; it matched the impressions from earlier rounds. In the semifinal, Robert and Guy de Chamisso had already impressed with a controlled performance against Dumoulin and Couturier. There as well, their balance between structured buildup and bold finishing stood out. They carried that mix into the final, where they again looked clearer in key sequences against the top seeds. At P1000 level, these details are often title-defining.
For Forcin and Deloyer, despite the loss, the tournament remains a strong campaign. They showed in the second set that they could turn the match and maintained pressure deep into the closing phase. In the end, the difference was less a major drop in their level and more the opponents' efficiency on critical points. That ability to choose the right option at 30-30 or deuce is exactly what characterizes teams that finish major weekends with trophies.
A signal for Guilers as a venue
Beyond the final result, the event also sent a strong organizational message. Ti Break Guilers delivered a tournament with high attendance, visible energy in the stands, and side activities that clearly enhanced the competition. For a first major format at this venue, that is a strong indicator that Guilers can establish itself as a relevant stop on the French calendar if quality on and off the court continues to be developed this consistently.
- High sporting level throughout the full weekend

With the title for Robert and Guy de Chamisso, Guilers closes a weekend that is likely to set standards for comparable tournaments both competitively and structurally. The combination of player depth, public interest, and professional execution underlines why the P1000 format keeps gaining traction in France and what role regional organizers can play in that growth.
