We knew it: Jessica Ginier and Lucile Pothier had inherited a complicated picture in these European Games. They fought to reach the quarter-finals of the European Games.

It was a moment of truth against a favorite Spanish pair in this confrontation with France. But the Spaniards were not so calm.

Jessica Ginier and Lucile Pothier have a lot of weapons, in particular an excellent volley which bothers the opponents a lot. The two players of World Padel Tour were strongly upset, but they won in three sets 6/3, 6/7, 6/3.

In this last set, we feel that everything can change at any time. The French are behind with a break against but cling.

They have break opportunities in the game. The French will convert only one of the eight obtained. A few small errors, like the end of the set, unfortunately put an end to the medal hopes of Jessica Ginier and Lucile Pothier.

In the end, you have to see the positive: the French women stood up to players who are part of the top 40 of the World Padel Tour. They have at times been exceptional with their offensive weapons.

For Lucile Pothier, the adventure is not over. There is a beautiful semi-final to look for tomorrow with his partner Thomas Leygue. Despite the frustration, the medal chance is serious. The captain of the French women's team, Robin Haziza, is convinced of this. We will have to quickly move on and remobilize to bring back a beautiful medal, whatever the color, in France.
