But on a  forward run Alejandra Alonso  violently twists the ankle  and immediately collapses to the ground. The images are harrowing: cries of pain, tears, general concern in the Palais des Sports.

 A courageous attempt… but impossible 

While everything pointed to an immediate retirement, Alonso courageously decided to  resume the game But very quickly, the observation becomes clear: the young Spanish woman is  completely diminished limping, unable to move normally.

After  two additional games The decision becomes inevitable. Alejandra Alonso  abandons permanently bringing this final to a premature end.

 A scenario reminiscent of Bordeaux 

This scene brings back a painful memory. During the  Bordeaux P2 semi-final Alejandra Alonso had already experienced a similar situation after a crash off the track. There too, she had tried to continue before having to retire.

Un  second blow  in just a few months for the young Spanish player, who was nevertheless going through a very positive period.

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 !
