A controlled first round

Collombon and Sharifova made a perfect start to their tournament by dominating the British players who were invited by a  wild card  on the score of  6 / 1 7 / 6 .

Dominating by a wide margin in the first set, the Franco-Russian pair then experienced a slight lapse in the second set before using their experience in the tie-break to avoid a third set.

A logical victory that allows them to approach this round of 16 with confidence.

Mount Fernandez / Calvo

This time, the challenge will be of a completely different magnitude.

Opposite,  Claudia fernandez  et  Martina Calvo  they arrive full of confidence after their superb run at  Pretoria P1 where they had reached the final, coming very close to a first title together.

Since joining forces, the two Spanish players have impressed. Between Fernandez's tactical solidity and Calvo's power, they now form one of the most dangerous pairs on the circuit.

On paper, they will be the overwhelming favorites.

Play without pressure

For  Alix Collombon  et  Ksenia Sharifova The goal will be to fully enjoy this match.

Facing one of the most in-form teams at the moment, the Franco-Russian pair will have nothing to lose. They will be able to play freely, take the initiative, and try to disrupt the Spanish team from the very first exchanges.

Although the feat looks complicated, Collombon has already proven on several occasions that she is capable of raising her level against the best players in the world.

The answer will be given this Thursday morning on the  short 2 , From  11 hrs .

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 !
