1 year ago, our French number one, Alix Collombon saw the world top 10 as impregnable players. For this last tournament of World Padel Tour in Cordoba, the Franco-Spanish pair, Collombon / Traviesa ends on “almost"The best of notes.

We end on a good note. In front of the world numbers, Marta Marrero and Martita Ortega, we make a very good match and we have opportunities to do something in this match. Admittedly, we are behind the score, but we get 3 set balls in the second set!

At 5 / 4 then 6 / 5, we offer opportunities to return to a set everywhere. In vain. And if we are happy to lose 6 / 3 7 / 6, because it means a lot, it's also frustration not to be able to realize these 3 set balls.

We can not regret having missed success in this second set. We are led by a set and a break. And we manage to return to the Martitas. It is already very positive to do this against this type of player.

Then, these set balls, we get them on the opposing service. And finally, we can not say that we have spoiled our opportunities. It is especially our opponents who play these hot moments very well.

The good news is that we are able to annoy the best players in the world. There is still a year, and even at the beginning of the season, we were still far away. This defeat actually allows us to launch our next season. Because we now know that we can play against the best players in the world and cause them problems.

To see them doubt is very encouraging. Marta and Martita are certain to finish world number one. And we were only one small point to return to a set everywhere.

Even if we win a set, it is not won. But we miss very little to win a set at this level. And then it makes you want to resume for next year.

I have 3 tournaments left padel in Catalonia. I'm finishing mid December. Then then rest for a little month. Then in mid-January it left for a physical preparation.
