The second semi-final of the  Bordeaux Premier Padel P2  turned into a nightmare. Opposed to  Sofia Araújo  et  Andrea Ustero , the 7nd seed  Alejandra Alonso  et  Claudia jensen  was forced to throw in the towel after the first set, following a heavy fall from Alonso.

The match started in a disjointed manner, with several breaks and unbreaks in the opening games.  3/2 , Alonso tries a  rapid runway exit  to return a difficult ball… but by jumping, it  returns violently  and falls on his back,  hitting the post  from the door. The player collapses to the ground in tears, immediately surrounded by her team, the referees and the physiotherapists.

A long moment of silence fell in the room, frozen in the face of the apparent gravity of the situation. After  almost 10 minutes of medical intervention , against all expectations, Alonso decides to  resume the game But the atmosphere is heavy. Neither the players nor the crowd can get back into the game. The restart is confused, marked by caution and palpable tension.

Despite the efforts,  Ustero and Araújo  manage to take the advantage and  pocket the first set 6/4 . It was then that Alejandra Alonso, visibly diminished, decided to  give up permanently Her friend Andrea Ustero, with whom she shared the track for a long time, was also very scared and emotional at the end of the match.

The Ustero / Araújo tandem therefore qualifies for the  final , not without emotion, and will face  Carmen Goenaga and Beatriz Caldera  in a poster  totally new  on the circuit Premier Padel.

A match marked by  emotion , the  frustration  and an injury that we hope is not serious for the young Alejandra Alonso.

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 !
