After beating Germany 3-0, the Italian selection qualified for the semi-finals of these 2022 Worlds where she will cross paths with the Argentinian “ogre”.

A smooth confrontation against Germany

This poster seemed very unbalanced in favor of Italy, and it was on the pitch. The particularly concentrated and diligent Italian players did not lose a single set during the three confrontations against the German selection.

  • Roberta Vinci/Giula Sussarello vs Denise Hofer/Victoria Kura: 6-1 6-2
  • Giorgia Marchetti/Chiara Pappacena vs. Milla Blaschke/Saskia Kruse: 6-1 6-0
  • Carolina Petrelli/Emily Stellato vs. Kristina Clement/Corina Scholten: 6-3 6-2

A success that allows this Italian team to join the last four of these 2022 Worlds.

Next opponent: Argentina

And it's a huge piece that will await the Italian players in the semi, since they will face Argentina, who easily defeated Sweden earlier in the day 3-0. This explosive match will be an opportunity to see the nations who finished second (Argentina) and third (Italy) compete at the last World Cup.

Argentina obviously seems to be the favorite in this meeting, which is led in particular by WPT players who are no longer presented, such as: Virginia Riera (7th WPT ranking), Aranzazu Osoro (11th WPT ranking), Delfi Brea (17th WPT ranking) or even Claudia jensen (20th WPT ranking). It is clear that with players of this level, the team has no other ambition than to fight for the title.

However, the Italians will not be there to make up the numbers. Aware that it will have the status of outsider in this meeting, the transalpine selection has a homogeneous workforce, which relies in particular on Julia Sussarello (37th in the WPT ranking), Chiara Pappacena (65th in the WPT ranking) or even Roberta Vinci (66th in the WPT ranking). Enough to create a surprise?

Be that as it may, this Italy-Argentina, which will be at stake in a place in the final of these World Championships padel 2022 should give us a great show!

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
