Leah Godallier et Giorgia Marchetti fail to get past the first round of Milan Premier Padel P1, losing to the Spanish pair Beatriz Caldera (20) and Lorena Rufo (21) with a score of 7 / 6 6 / 3 after 1h34 of play.

A first set hung

In a very hard-fought first set, Godallier and Marchetti held their own against the Spanish, pushing the set to a tie-break. But it was the Spanish who proved more solid on the important points, while Godallier and Marchetti let points slip away, particularly for Marchetti, who was not very successful with the smash. Caldera and Rufo won the tie-break, 7 points to 4.

A second round dominated by the Spanish

The second set saw Caldera and Rufo take the lead. More efficient on their serve (70% of points won on their service games) and stronger in return (44% of points earned in return), the Spanish convert their opportunities. For their part, Godallier and Marchetti struggle to maintain the pressure. Suffering a double break, they finally lose the set 6/3.

A logical defeat

Despite a good resistance in the first set, Lea Godallier and Giorgia Marchetti were unable to reverse the trend against a higher-ranked pair. The Frenchwoman ended her 2024 season with this match. A difficult end to the season mentally for Godallier, who lost in the round of 16 in her last four tournaments.

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 !
