Mélissa Martin and Léa Godallier were very scared this afternoon during the final of the P1000 - 4PADEL Bordeaux, a 100% ladies' event. Certainly the victory is at the end. And this is certainly the most important. But for the observers that we are, we think that they can do much more than what they have shown us so far.

Injury of Mai Vo

Fear for their opponents first of all, since the match will suddenly stop at 5 everywhere when on a rally of harmless support, Mai Vo collapses in tears. This player, so much a fighter on the field, must abdicate. His Achilles tendon would have tricked him. According to her, rupture of the Achilles tendon. Recall it: She is a general practitioner. Little hope: Partial and not total break? You will be told more after examinations of his injury.

A poorly embedded match

Fear, then, because the match was badly started. Mélissa Martin did not seem at ease in this final. Moreover, we felt he was tired throughout the competition. The opponents therefore logically requested him to avoid this devil of Léa Godallier on the right. Led 5/3, Martin / Godallier returns to the game following a succession of Vo / Feaugas errors. A tense game where the 4 players do not deliver their best padel. Then, we know the rest with Mai Vo's injury.

Many people coming to attend this final expected will remain unsatisfied.

Meites / Invernon: A very beautiful 3e place

Note, the very beautiful 3rd place of Meites / Invernon. Another very beautiful tournament for Line Meites who hits very hard in the ears of the coach of the France team of padel : Patrick Fouquet. Elodie, who we see more and more often in padel, also has a great competition.

On the other hand, Carol Ann Lovera and Audrey Casanova do not yet have referent tournaments to their credit. They deliver good matches at times, but for the duration of a race for now, it's not easy. Note that the "Robocop" of the circuit, Carlo Ann, will soon be completely free of its movements since it should soon remove the orthosis that helps it run.

Fiona Ligi and Laura Clergue join forces

Little last-minute info: On the sidelines of the competition, we learned that Fiona Ligi and Laura Clergue are joining forces this year in France. We will come back to this topic this week.
