It's official: we now know the new partner ofAraceli Martínez, former teammate ofAlix CollombonThe Spanish will team up with Carolina orsi, ranked Italian player 29th in the world.

Originally from Rome, Orsi is a player left-handed to style powerful et explosive, capable of real brilliance. On the other hand, she sometimes needs a clear framework to channel her game and avoid rushing.

A profile with high potential but still inconsistent

Carolina Orsi reached in 2024 his best ranking, a 24th place in the world. An interesting course, but she shares with Alix Collombon the same difficulty: that of break through the world top 20 barrier, still out of reach for the moment.

The choice of Martínez is therefore not without risk. Moving from Colombon à Orsi is a bold bet: on paper, the Italian displays a slightly lower ranking to that of the Frenchwoman. Let us remember that Alix herself had reached the 20th place in the world, a symbolic rank even if it did not retain it for long.

A solid track record for Orsi

Carolina orsi remains an experienced player, who has notably reached the Madrid P1 quarter-finals last August. It also has three FIP Silver titles, including a victory at NarbonneThe Italian therefore has the weapons to surprise and perform at a high level.

It remains to be seen whether the association between Orsi et Martínez, two players with sometimes erratic temperaments, will be an asset... or a weakness. The two profiles seem similar, and only time will tell if this alchemy will bear fruit.

And what about Alix Collombon?

For its part, Alix Collombon will return to competition at FIP Platinum of Lyon, where it will be associated with Jessica GinierA 100% French duo who will be keen to create a feat in front of his home crowd.
