The Blues were unable to do anything against the Spanish ogre during the semi-finals of the 2024 European Junior Championships, which are currently taking place in Hungary. Facing Spain in the last four, the French women lost 3/0 in their semi-final.

Regardless of the category, Spain proved to be above the rest. The Spanish youth are following in the footsteps of the greatest padel players in the world… and they proved it on the court, starting with the U14s, Mar Munera and Martina Vera who won the first point against Augustine Charpentier et Zia Debroy : 6 / 1 7 / 5.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
