The French women's team will not finish fifth in these World Championships. Indeed, the Blues lost 2/1 against Sweden in their first classification match. Robin Haziza's players will therefore play for 7-8th place...

Huge disappointment for the French players against the Swedes. While the Blues were looking for fifth place, they had not managed to win the first match. Indeed, despite a very tight match, Charlotte Soubrié et Lucile Pothier finally let the first point slip away against Carolina Navarro Björk and Sofia Arvidsson… Final score: 6/7 7/6 6/3.

Jessica Ginier-Barber et Alix Collombon had righted the bar in the second round by winning very clearly against Baharak Soleymani and Juni Sjöland. A victory 6 / 2 6 / 2 which allowed the Blues to come back to the level of the Swedes and therefore push them to the decisive match.

Carla Toully et Léa Godallier failed to get the last point needed to get a fifth or even sixth place in the 2024 World Championships rankings. Amanda Girdo and Linnea Björk dominated this match head and shoulders, inflicting a severe 6 / 3 6 / 1 to the French women…

France will not do better than at the last World Championships and can only hope, at best, to reach 7th place in the world rankings. They will face Brazil, who lost 2-1 to the Netherlands.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
