A very nice week for Steffi Merah et Julie Razafindranaly au FIP Silver Mumbai , with a run that confirms their positive dynamic together.
A controlled start to the tournament
The two Frenchwomen made a perfect start to their tournament with a clear victory against Lim / Narkprasert , 6 / 1 6 / 1 A one-sided match, well managed, which quickly boosted their confidence.
In the quarter-finals, they inherited the seeded 3 Japanese women Sato/Ozawa On paper, an affordable draw… and this was confirmed on the field.
Victoire 6 / 3 6 / 2 , with true mastery. In two matches, only 7 games conceded , proof of their robustness.
A step too far in the semi-final
In the semi-final, the level rises even further against the seeded 2 , the Spanish Ariadna Cañellas / Lucia Peralta Exhibition .
This time, the challenge was greater against two established players on the circuit. Despite the desire, Merah / Razafindranaly logically bow down.
A very positive result
Despite this defeat, the overall assessment remains very positive:
- A FIP Silver semi-final
- 25 FIP points won each
- A true confirmation on the international circuit
A tournament that should allow them to continue to climb the rankings .
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 !
