The tournament continues in Seville and there is already only one more  tricolor in the running . After the eliminations of 'Amélie Detriviere  and  'Alix Collombon,   Léa Godallier  carries French hopes alone. Alongside the Spanish  Esther Butcher , the French number 2 is playing her round of XNUMX this afternoon against a formidable pair:  Carmen Goenaga and Bea Caldera .

A controlled first round

For their entry into the competition,  Godallier/Carnicero  didn't tremble. Solid from start to finish, they won  6 / 2 6 / 3  against the qualified pair  Delgado/Arteaga A clear victory which allows them to approach this second match with confidence.

Reunion with Goenaga/Caldera

The challenge looks quite different this afternoon.  Goenaga (22nd in the world)  et  Caldera (19th in the world)  form a young but already very solid pair on the circuit. Léa knows her opponents of the day well since she had already faced them during the  Bordeaux P2  last June, then associated with  Laura Lujan That day, the Spanish had won.  7 / 6 6 / 1  and subsequently reached the final of the tournament.

A different role for Léa

This time, the Frenchwoman will approach the duel in a different role: positioned at  right of the track , she will have to further build the points alongside Esther Butcher.  An adjustment that could allow him to  better control the game and perhaps take revenge. 

Events  around 16 p.m.  to follow this decisive round of 16.  Léa Godallier  will try to get a  quarter-final in Seville , before switching this weekend to the  French championships  where she will be expected as a favorite with  Alix Colombon.
