A tricky match despite being the favorite

On paper, Collombon and Martínez are the favorites against the pair from the qualifiers,  Aida Martínez (83) / Ana Domínguez Gracia (70) But be careful: the Spanish are on a  good dynamics , they come out of the qualifiers and have already scored a big blow in the first round by eliminating  Barbara Las Heras (49) / Giorgia Marchetti (53)  with a score of 7/5 1/6 6/4.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
