Jessica Ginier, which has little international presence, demonstrated that it was playing well above its rank. Its power and experience made the difference.

Le first set was a real demonstration. Very aggressive, the French women hammered the opposing defense with quick smashes and great cleanliness in the game. Result: a 6 / 0 sec in less than 30 minutes.

In the second set, resistance intensified in front, but Touly and Ginier continued to dictate the tempo, winning all the important points. They knew how convert 6 of their 13 break points, compared to only 1 in 7 for their opponents.

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 !
