Opposed to the number 4 seed in the qualifiers,  Marta Arellano and Jana Montes , French women  Charlotte Soubrié and Louise Bahurel  lost this Sunday in two sets:  6 / 3 6 / 1 .

Yet, everything had started well.  first set  has been marked with a  sequence of breaks and unbreaks , each pair struggling to maintain their commitment. But at 4/3, the Spanish raised their voice to break and move towards winning the set.

In  second round , the French women no longer had the opportunity to make their opponents doubt.  Jana Montes , in difficulty in the first act, clearly recovered, dictating the pace alongside a very solid Arellano.

Facing a higher ranked pair, Soubrié and Bahurel tried to exist, but their  17 unforced errors  and limited effectiveness on key points weighed heavily in the balance.

 A frustrating match , but rich in lessons for the two French players, who continue to accumulate experience on the international scene.

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 !
