There are no longer any French representatives in the table of World Padel Tour from Alicante. This first round in the main draw for Alix Collombon and Laura Clergue was however very tough. Their defeats are even positive for the rest of their season.

Alix Collombon surprises with world 20e

First player on the field, Alix Collombon had to deal with 20 World number Valeria Pavon and her partner Paula Martin. A defeat in 3 sets despite a second set mastered 6 / 2 and ended the hopes of the new 77ème player world and number 2 French ranking.

Laura Clergue, not so far

Laura Clergue, on her side, had inherited a first tour a priori more affordable facing two qualified players. We know, however, that it is very difficult to play directly against a team that has 2 wins in the legs, and that was true yesterday. Victory of Maria Riera and Lorena Alonso, 44th world player and experienced on the Tour with her 81 games played, on the severe score of 6 / 3 6 / 2.

 

Direction Zaragoza

Appointment is made in Zaragoza from 2 to 6 May for the next WPT stage.

The small ray of sunshine came from our favorite French-Argentinian Gaby Reca who crossed the first lap with his accomplice Fernando Poggi after a big battle.

What's next for them? A gala match against Paquito Navarro and Juan Martin Diaz in a duel between 2 former world numbers 1!
