After  very good qualifications ,  Léa Godallier and Daiara Valenzuela  failed to extend their run in the main draw of the  Madrid P1 . Opposed to  Carmen Goenaga / Bea Caldera , they bow  6/2 6/1 in one hour of play , in a match where they lacked consistency.

Too many mistakes to hope for more

On paper, the challenge had already been met. Faced with  Goenaga / Caldera The level of expectation was no longer the same as during the qualifying rounds. At this level, opportunities for relaxation are rare: every inaccurate shot is quickly penalized.

And that was evident from the very beginning.  Godallier misses his opening opportunity With several unforced errors allowing the Spanish pair to quickly take control, Goenaga and Caldera needed no further invitation and cruised to victory in the first set.  6/2 .

In total, the Franco-Argentine pair finished the match with  29 unforced errors, compared to 19 for his opponents The gap is too large to hope to overturn a pair of this caliber.

Godallier raises his game, Valenzuela struggles more

The face of  Léa Godallier  is much better in the second set. The Frenchwoman holds her crosscourt shot better, considerably reduces her errors, and even manages to  making a difference at the net .

This time, it's more  Daiara Valenzuela lacks consistency , with several mistakes that prevent the pair from really establishing a dynamic.

Godallier and Valenzuela, however, had a few opportunities to come back. They managed to  unbreak giving the impression that they could get back into the game, but they immediately lost their serve again. They will also have  more break points in this second set , without being able to convert them.

Goenaga and Caldera ultimately left no further openings and concluded with a 6/1.

Heading to Paris Major

A  A logical defeat considering how the match unfolded. , even if the score might leave some regrets after the good things shown in qualifying. Against a pair of this caliber, the  29 unforced errors  must have had a significant impact.

For  Léa Godallier The next meeting will have a special significance. The Frenchwoman is expected as early as next week at  Paris Major , at Roland-Garros, where she will try to bounce back in front of the French public.

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 !
