No achievement for  Alix Collombon and Ksenia Sharifova  in the round of XNUMX of  Madrid P1 Facing one of the major challenges of the painting,  Bea González / Paula Josemaría As the number 2 seed, the Frenchwoman and her partner logically lost.  6 / 2 6 / 1 .

González / Josemaría immediately in rhythm

There might have been some uncertainty before the match. After nearly a month without an official game,  González and Josemaría  might have needed a few games to get back into the swing of things.

That didn't happen.

The Spanish women immediately got into the game and left  very little space in Collombon / Sharifova The Franco-Russian pair never really managed to put them under pressure and ended the match  without having earned a single break point .

Conversely, González/Josemaría acquired  8 break opportunities and converted 5 of them .

44 winning points against 16

The main difference lies primarily in  aggression The two pairs finished with a fairly similar number of unforced errors, but González and Josemaría constantly sought to take the initiative.

The figure speaks for itself:  44 winning points for the Spanish pair compared to only 16 for Collombon / Sharifova .

 Bea González  Collombon imposed a great deal of intensity on the crosscourt court against Ksenia Sharifova, who struggled to contain the Spaniard's accelerations. Collombon and her partner were forced to defend extensively and only rarely managed to turn the tide of the match.

The result was a match controlled by the number 2 seed, who completed their eighth  6 / 2 6 / 1 .

Collombon is headed to Paris Major

A predictable defeat against  one of the best pairs in the world This doesn't erase the strong start made by Collombon and Sharifova in Madrid. They had launched their tournament perfectly by dominating  Barbara Las Heras / Carla Mesa 6/3 6/0  in the first round.

The next installment will arrive next week with the  Paris Major at Roland-Garros A truly special occasion for  Alix Collombon who will be playing at home and will be  directly present in the main table .

After Madrid, it's on to Paris, where the French number 1 will undoubtedly be keen to have a great run in front of the French public.

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 !
