La  French number 1  advances this Thursday against the world's leading pair,  the Spanish Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria The day's schedule is busy but this match is scheduled for center court, a  last chance to shine for Collombon/Martinez  before the holidays.

A major challenge

Un  colossal challenge  awaits the Lyonnaise, who has never yet beaten this feared pair on the circuit Premier Padel. To hope to create a surprise,  Colombon  will have to play a perfect match: controlled aggression, consistency in defense and measured risk-taking. The Franco-Spanish duo will also have to capitalize on the  slight flaws  seen this week among the number 1s, who showed a touch of unusual feverishness.

Different conditions than the last confrontation

The last meeting between the two pairs was a few weeks ago at  P2 of Valladolid  where the Franco-Spanish pair had lost  6 / 1 6 / 4  under the Spanish heat. New match which will be played this time indoors, perhaps the opportunity to slow down the game and  to outwit Ari and Paula. 

The number 1 pair is dull

Mid-season,  Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria , although dominant on the circuit, seem to be showing some signs of running out of steam. Used to dominating the debates, the world number 1s have already conceded  several surprising defeats in recent weeks , a rare feat for this ultra-consistent pair. Whether due to the accumulation of matches, constant pressure or a slight drop in physical and mental fitness, their invincibility crumbles at times. This  new fragility , although relative, could offer a  window of opportunity  for their opponents, especially for the pair  Collombon/Martinez , if she manages to play freely and seize every flaw.
