Emblematic figure of the French padel, several times champion of France alongsideAlix Collombon, Jessica Ginier ends his adventure in France teamThe Lyonnaise leaves the Blues on a silver medal at the 2025 European Championships, at the end of a week rich in emotions and symbolic of a intergenerational transfer.
This week marked the end of an era for French padel, with a real handover between generations: on the one hand, a historic figure of French padel, Jessica Ginier, and on the other, the new promises embodied by Louise Bahurel, sparkling during these European Championships.
She had announced it: she had finally offered herself two more years to "live your passion to the fullest and have no regrets." Behind the immense happiness of obtaining this silver medal in the Euro Final 8 Padel Cup, we could also read a lot of emotion in the eyes of the former French champion, alongsideAlix Collombon.
Besides, his former partner wanted to mark the occasion with a message on Instagram. She explained that her teammate "would miss her greatly" in the upcoming matches.
This week in Spain sounded like Jessica's last appearance in the blue jersey. Already in 2024, the Frenchwoman had announced that she wanted to give herself "one or two final years to the fullest", to test herself against the best players in the world on the FIP Tour and during major international competitions with The french team.
This silver medal taken down in Spain thus constitutes the most beautiful way to conclude his adventure with the national team.
Jessica will definitely leave a big void. Iconic left-wing player, she has always been one of the pillars of the French team, by its exemplary attitude, constant level of play and consistency in key moments.
We promise, we'll find Jessica's full interview soon.
