The encounter between  Léa Godallier / Ariadna Cañellas Rodero  et  Carla Touly / Amanda Lopez Moral , counting towards the final round of qualifying  Valence P1 unfortunately ended in the worst possible way.

While the two pairs were locked in a fierce battle to secure a place in the main draw, the match was interrupted following an incident involving Amanda Lopez Moral.

In an extremely close first set,  Carla Touly and Amanda Lopez Moral had nevertheless taken control of the match The Franco-Spanish pair were leading 4/1 before Godallier and Cañellas gradually came back into the game thanks to an improved level of play.

The set was ultimately decided by a tie-break. The score was...  3-2 in the tiebreaker Amanda Lopez Moral suddenly collapsed on the court after appearing to hit something during a rally.

The Spanish woman was quickly taken into care and placed in  lateral safety position causing a lengthy interruption of the match. After several minutes of waiting, she attempted to resume play, but her condition ultimately prevented her from continuing.

The decision to abandon the race was therefore made, handing the victory and qualification to  Léa Godallier and Ariadna Cañellas Rodero .

Beyond the sporting result, the most important thing is obviously Amanda Lopez Moral's health. The entire padel community now hopes to see the Spaniard back on the courts as soon as possible, and above all, in the best possible condition.

For  Carla Touly and Amanda Lopez Moral The disappointment is understandably immense. Both players were close to achieving a very strong performance before this twist of fate. Nevertheless, Carla Touly will be back next week at the FIP Silver Narbonne tournament, as she will be competing with Anna Ortiz, not Amanda Lopez.

For its part,  Léa Godallier continues her great week in Valence Thanks to this qualification, the Frenchwoman has reached the main draw of the Valencia P1 and has already secured her place.  32 FIP points .

The draw could even give him an all-French matchup right from the first round. Indeed,  Alix Collombon and Ksenia Sharifova  They will face a qualifying pair in their opening match. Godallier and Cañellas therefore have a one in four chance of facing the French number 1 in the main draw.

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 !
