Wednesday marks the beginning of the serious business at P1 of Valencia with the entry of several of the world's best pairs. For the French camp, the focus will be primarily on Alix Collombon et Léa Godallier , both involved in the round of 32 with matches that are far from easy.
Godallier rewarded after her crazy qualification
The Valencian week of Léa Godallier It already has all the makings of an adventure.
On Monday, the Frenchwoman and her partner Ariadna Cañellas secured their place in the main draw under particularly difficult circumstances. Facing Carla Toully et Amanda Lopez Morale In the final round of qualifying, they saw the match interrupted after the Spanish player fell ill while the first set was being contested in a very close tie-break.
After attempting to resume play, Amanda Lopez Moral was ultimately forced to retire, handing the qualification to Godallier and Cañellas. This unfortunate outcome, however, should not overshadow the very high level of play displayed by the Franco-Spanish pair since the start of the qualifiers.
Rewarded with a place in the final bracket and already guaranteed to collect 32 FIP points They will now have to put in a big performance against Lucia Sainz et Jana Montes The match is scheduled as the fourth match on Court 2.
Collombon wants to continue his momentum
For its part, Alix Collombon begins its Valencia campaign with the ambition of reaching the round of 16 for the second consecutive time.
Associated with Ksenia Sharifova , the French number 1 will have to get rid of Daiara Valenzuela et Ana Domínguez Two players who came through qualifying. A favorable draw on paper for the Frenchwoman, but one that hides a few pitfalls: the Argentinian and the Spaniard have already played several matches this week and benefit from valuable time to adapt to the playing conditions in Valencia. A start to the season that Collombon and Sharifova must take very seriously.
The match is scheduled as the third rotation on Court 2.
