The current 4th French player, Charlotte Soubrié, present in Dubai on the occasion of the 2022 Worlds went to the microphone Padel Mag to come back to the competition.

His record of the competition

“We all agree that the end result is not what we had hoped for. It was hard, as soon as we entered the fray with a defeat against Sweden. We come out of the pool first thanks to the last match won against Sweden by Léa (Godallier) and Lucile (Pothier) and the decisive match won by Mélissa (Martin) and Fiona (Ligi) in straight sets against Brazil.

Despite the World Cup which was difficult overall, we tried and gave the maximum on each part, and sometimes it's not enough.

We realized the evolution of the level of play in almost all countries and the work that we will have to do for the next international competitions. It's hard at the time, but we'll know how to bounce back and we know what we have to do. “

Positives and negatives to remember

“You have to know how to take the positive and the negative from each competition and even from each match. This is what helps us to progress.

If I had to remember a strong positive moment of this competition, I would say the victory against Brazil. I'm also thinking of the fact that we were able to stay united even in the most difficult times.

A more complicated moment? I'm thinking of the first match against Sweden lost with Alix where we realized that the girls were playing very well and had evolved a lot compared to previous confrontations. “

What the future holds

“As far as my positioning on the court is concerned, I want to remain a versatile player. So for the moment, I am not closing myself to any side. I intend to train and continue to improve.

At the same time, I will try to free myself to participate in more tournaments which will allow me to play more matches at this level. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to train thoroughly, with big events in mind, such as the P2000 in Toulouse (scheduled for the beginning of December) in which I plan to take part. “

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
