Alix Collombon and Léa Godallier played together with the French team for the European Championships. This ephemeral union will be prolonged. Collombon / Godallier, a pair that shakes the competition in France. The 29th and 37th players in the world join forces with the French championships in their sights!

Not far from the feat

Padel Magazine : You had an excellent first set against Iglesias / Amatriain, but suddenly the level of play dropped. What happened ?

Alix Collombon:“We were pleasantly surprised at the level we were able to achieve in the first set. We knew Victoria and Eli were going to improve. If we had taken the first game of the second set, we would have put on a good momentum, and we would have sunk a bit. But afterwards they played a lot fairer. ”

“I want to congratulate Léa who played on the left, it's not her side. She does it because I can't go left! ”

“We're going to play together”

Padel Magazine : There are sparks when you play together. Could we see you playing together soon?

Alix Collombon:“Jessica Ginier told us that she was not available this year. So I won't play with her anymore. ”

Lea Godallier:"Yes. Alix called me and introduced me to the situation with Jess. And I said yes. When the first French player offers you to play with her, it is a proposal that you cannot refuse. I am very honored that she thought of me. ”

Alix Collombon:“It was quite obvious to call Léa. We've been getting along very well for a long time. We have the same project, we have the same desire to train and work hard. The fact that we both play on the right is half a problem, because we can see in this tournament that Léa is able to go to the left. ”

Padel Magazine : If this is only half a problem, can we imagine you together on the World Padel Tour ?

Alix Collombon:“For now on the WPT, we are both in our project. We made a big start to the season with my other Jessica -Castello-. It's complicated to tell him today that I'm leaving with Léa who is a right-wing player. We both still have things to work on on our side. It's not yet the time, but you never know… ”

Lea Godallier:“For that, I would have to train really on the left. We call each other often. If one of us has the project to get together with the other, I think we will call each other long beforehand to work on our own, then together. At the moment I cannot claim to have the level of Alix's partner. We each stay on our side and we continue to work."

Favorite status

Padel Magazine : For the French championships you will be the big favorites. How do you feel?

Lea Godallier:"I think the padel women in France has evolved a lot. The girls have really improved. Melissa and Fiona play it World Padel Tour. It's great that they got to work. At these European Championships, the girls are very strong. We must really remain vigilant. The watchword is pleasure. We'll stay serious and get the job done. ”

Alix Collombon:“We are not the type to say that it will be easy. We will never come back to a tournament like that. Yes we will have the pressure of the status of favorites, we know that. Everyone will want to beat us. We're going to make sure that doesn't happen. ”

"Thank you for all the messages we receive on social networks. We can't answer everything, but it really makes us happy. It gives us a lot of strength. ”
