Since the defeat of Alix Collombon and Nicole Traviesa in the round of XNUMX, the World Padel Tour Estrella Damm Open now continues without French.

At the Women, a very complicated tournament since all the French women entered were eliminated in their first match…

The highest ranked player of the tricolor delegation, the 30th world Alix Collombon, had not been spoiled in the draw. By taking the Alayeto binoculars from the sixteenth round, the pair Collombon / Traviesa knew it would be complicated. The reality on the pitch was tough with a 6/0 6/0 defeat.

Laura Clergue and Léa Godallier as for them were taken out in the first round of previas, whereas they had a priori the weapons to pass in front of Vivancos / Saiz. After a very bad start, the French ended up cracking in the second losing 6/1 7/5.

Mélissa Martin and Meli Garcia weren't sure what to expect from two players with a Wild Card in the first round of preprevias. They were finally overtaken by the surprise team, Carla Tur Mari and Maria del Pilar Escandell, who started their tournament with a 6/2 6/2 against the Franco-Spanish pair and who after 5 games won are in eighths of final!

At the men, satisfaction comes from Bastien Blanqué, the tricolor-shaped man of the moment. Associated to Jordi Muñoz, the champion of France, chained three victories before losing in a match hung against Poggi / Solbes, who carried out a great tournament.

After a first game won in an authoritarian way, we waited for the pair Scatena / Tison but they ended up cracking in the second round of the preprevias, in a very tight match against Yribarren / Del Valle (3/6 6/3 4/6).

The other 100% French pair, Bergeron / Morillon was dominated in the first round of the preprevias by Mouliaa / Castillo 3/6 3/6. As Moreau / Alonso, beaten 4/6 6/7 by De Castro / Marquez Larrea in their first match.

A halftone tournament for the French delegation. Hope the next tournament is more positive!
