A bit like Bastien Blanqué, Mélissa Martin changes partner after two tournaments on le World Padel Tour. She will play with Rebeca Lopez at vigo. She explains this choice to us.

A problem of understanding with Martina Fassio

“With Martina Fassio we could both have put some interesting things in place. On a few matches we had rather effective phases of play, as during the defeat in 3 sets against the pair Céleste Paz and Ariadna Cañellas on a Madrid circuit tournament.
But in the end we really couldn't get along on the pitch: in terms of character, communication and even tactics! Nothing good came of all this… ”

“It must be said that I am in a real phase of technical and tactical construction. As a result, I may not always be stable in my game when she, despite her young age, has been doing it longer than me. She has already acquired her skills, so we weren't in the same phase either. "

The start of a new story with Rebeca Lopez?

“After these few complicated matches with Martina, I already needed to have fun again, and Rebeca is a girl I know and appreciate a lot in terms of mentality. So we decided to try together at least on the WPTs in Vigo and Santander to see what happens on the pitch. She lives like me in Madrid so we take the opportunity to try to set benchmarks as a pair by sharing some training together! ”

Mélissa Martin (109 WPT) and Rebeca Lopez Lopez (129 WPT) start their Cupra Vigo Open tournament tomorrow. They will be opposed to Marina Guinart España (116) and Manuela Isabel Alaga (83), in the first round of the preprevias. The meeting will start at 15:00 p.m. this Monday.
