Alix Collombon  et  Araceli Martinez  started their tournament perfectly at  Bordeaux Premier Padel P2  by imposing  6 / 2 6 / 3  against the Spanish qualifiers  Martha Arellano  et  Jana Montes .

The match started badly for the Franco-Spanish pair, surprised from the start with a  break conceded  from the first game. But this alert has the merit of waking them up. Very quickly,  Collombon and Martinez  recover, break away in the process and gradually increase their speed. They recover the net, impose a higher pace and show themselves to be very  solids on the fly . In  2/2 , they trigger a series of  four consecutive games  to fold the first set  6/2 , thanks to better hitting quality and good coordination.

Same scenario in the second round:  break conceded from the start , then gradual rise.  3/2 for their opponents ,  Collombon and Martinez  accelerate. Opposite,  unforced errors are piling up , and  Alix , incisor in  viper , leads the charge. Result: a new series of  four games in a row , and a second set won  6/3 .

In the next round, a big challenge awaits them with the  seeded 4 ,  Sofia Araújo and Andrea Ustero . But in  playing conditions that are favorable to them , in front of  Bordeaux public ,  Alix Collombon , at home, will have every reason to  believe in the feat .

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 !
