Committed this week to the FIP Silver Lisboa, Laura Buteau (202) had partnered with the Brazilian Helena Rousselet Novillo (218). The two players had started their journey well with a controlled victory against the qualified Elena Schiattelli (607) / Maria Carracha (541), 6/4 6/3.

In the round of 16, the obstacle was on a completely different level: the 4th seed, Lorena Vano (79) / Alba Pérez Momha (65). Faced with this duo of world top 80, the Frenchwoman and her partner failed to bother them. Defeat 6 / 1 6 / 2, logical given the gap in experience and regularity.

If the step was too high, Buteau still leaves with a new valuable experience on the circuit against such a pair. The quarter-finals are on the way in FIP Silver still waiting, but the Frenchwoman continues to move in the right direction.

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 !
