Committed this week to the  FIP Silver Lisboa ,  Laura Buteau (202)  had partnered with the Brazilian  Helena Rousselet Novillo (218) . The two players had started their journey well with a  controlled victory  against the qualified  Elena Schiattelli (607) / Maria Carracha (541) , 6/4 6/3.

In the round of 16, the obstacle was on a completely different level: the 4th seed,  Lorena Vano (79) / Alba Pérez Momha (65) . Faced with this duo of  world top 80 , the Frenchwoman and her partner failed to bother them. Defeat  6 / 1 6 / 2 , logical given the gap in experience and regularity.

If the step was too high, Buteau still leaves with a  new valuable experience  on the circuit against such a pair. The quarter-finals are on the way in  FIP Silver  still waiting, but the Frenchwoman continues to move in the right direction.

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 !
