Complicated start for Alix Collombon and his partner Araceli Martínez au FIP Platinum SevilleSeeded 9, the Franco-Spanish pair lost in their opening match against Laura Lujan (58) et Letizia María Manquillo Alarza (56) on the score of 6 / 4 7 / 6.

A close match, where the details made the difference. Collombon and Martínez only converted 2 break points out of 6, against On 3 7 for their opponents. On the other side, Luján and Manquillo showed solidity in the important moments, especially in the second set which ended in a tie-break.

This early elimination is a bad operation for Collombon and Martínez, who could have hoped for a more open table. In case of victory, they would have found Mónica Gómez Rivas and Carolina Navarro Björk, a lower ranked pair, with a real opportunity to reach the quarter-finals and leave with at least 50 FIP points.

For Luján, former partner of Léa Godallier, and Manquillo, on the contrary, it's a great deal: they reach the last 16 where they will face Gómez Rivas and Navarro.

For its part, Colombon will now have a few days of rest before returning to the slopes on Friday for the start of the French championships.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
