The weekend smiled on Pauline Robat et Clara Bellussi at the Open PadelShot Metz who won the Women's P1000, delivering a great “almost home” victory.

A first for Robat

For Pauline Robat (58th French), this is a special moment: “This is my first P1000 win”. Associated with Clara Bellussi (29th), she was able to string together performances to win the title.

P1000 PadelShot Metz: Pauline Robat and Clara Bellussi win at home

If the start of the journey was tense, a reframing of their coach Mickaël Jean changed the game: “It was a complicated first match, with some tension… Mickaël helped me switch gears and refocus. Then I played three very consistent matches with discipline and concentration.”.

This victory therefore marks the first final and first title in P1000 for Pauline Robat, alongside a solid Clara Bellussi throughout the weekend.
