The Franco-Spanish pair composed of  Léa Godallier (58th)  et  Sandra Bellver Fructuoso (53rd)  stops at the gates of the final of the  FIP Silver Caltanissetta , after a defeat in two sets (6/3 7/5) against the number 3 seed,  Jana Montes Cabruja (63rd)  et  Julia Polo Bautista (52nd) .

A great missed opportunity

While they seemed to have a  a good card to play to secure their first final of the season , Godallier and Bellver failed to gain the upper hand against a very solid Spanish pair in key moments.

A good journey despite everything

Their tournament remains encouraging, however. Qualified for the quarterfinals after a  forfeit of their opponents  in the eighth, they then won a  three-round fight  (6/1 3/6 6/3) against the Italians  Carolina Petrelli  et  Giulia Dal Pozzo .

Heading for Qatar

With this semi-final,  Godallier and Bellver leave with 25 FIP points , a valuable gain for the ranking. They will be back on the circuit in two weeks for the  Qatar Major , a meeting where they will directly integrate the  main board , thanks to their ranking and the expanded format of major tournaments.

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 !
