After their great performance during the FIP Gold Lyon, Laurine and Alison (it was actually: Dorra Chamli) once again distinguished themselves on their home turf! During the P1000 Ladies in Spirit Padel, the women's tournament met all the expected elements: a difficult draw to fill, the risk of cancellation, a quality show, constant fair play, great camaraderie, a high level of play and a victory for the TS1 vs TS2 in the final !
Although shortened to two days due to a lack of participants, this P1000 fully lived up to its promises. The quality of the pairs present largely compensated for the small number! As proof, the semi-final at the top of the table brought together three world champion titles and two reigning French champion titles in their categories!
In the final, after a controlled run in their respective parts of the table, it was the first two seeds who faced each other. Alexia Dechaume-Balleret and Catherine Lalanne got off to a better start, with a break allowing them to win the first set 6/4. In the second set, the duel intensified: after a first break at 5/5, Alexia and Catherine served for the match, but Laurine and Alison immediately unbroken, finally winning in the tie-break.
Buoyed by this comeback, Laurine and Alison kept the pressure on from the start of the third set. After a quick break against Alexia and Catherine, they were not caught again. Laurine and Alison are therefore crowned on their Lyon lands with a score of 4/6 7/6 6/3, a great preparation for their next deadline: the P1500 at the club Padelshot of Craponne, a neighboring club, next week.
