Alix Collombon (29) and his Spanish partner Araceli Martinez (30) failed to impose their game during their round of 16 match against Beatriz Caldera (23) et Lorena Rufo Ortiz (24), who dominated the match and won 6/1 6/3.

The first set was one-sided. Collombon and Martinez struggled to find their bearings and accumulated unforced errors, leaving opportunities for Caldera and Rufo, who quickly take the lead. Very effective on high balls, the Spanish dominate the exchanges by constantly taking back the net, concluding the set easily 6/1.

The second set was a reflection of the first. Caldera and Rufo maintained their intensity and continued to play forward, with a big net presence. The Spanish women are very solid in their service game, with 73% of points won on their first serve. Collombon and Martinez cannot find solutions to this pressure, and concede a double break. The second set therefore ends with the score of 6/3, sealing the victory for the Spanish.

Final score: 6/1 6/3

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 !
