The day did not go well for the French women competing in the main draw of the  Newgiza Premier Padel P2 .  Léa Godallier , associated with the Italian Giorgia Marchetti, and  Alix Collombon , along with the Spaniard Jana Montes, both bowed out in the first round, in different scenarios but with the same outcome.

 Godallier / Marchetti too fair against Caldera / Goenaga 

Opposed to a pair in good form,  Bea Caldera / Carmen Goenaga Léa Godallier and Giorgia Marchetti did not manage to exist over time.

Clear defeat  6/3 6/1 in 1h06 , in a match where they paid for their lack of consistency:

  •  34 unforced errors , a total too high to hope to compete
  • Seulement  15 winning points , against  30 on the opposing side 

In challenging external conditions (wind, sun), Caldera and Goenaga were able to adapt better, imposing their aggression and pace.

A logical elimination for Godallier / Marchetti, who failed to produce a big performance.

 Collombon / Montes pass very close 

The scenario is quite different for  Alix Collombon / Jana Montes , beaten by  Lara Arruabarrena / Marina Lobo  in a very close match.

Final score:  7 / 6 6 / 4 , but a match that came down to details.

  •  Extremely close first set , concluded in a tie-break (7-4) in favor of the Spanish
  •  Second set held until 4/4 before a decisive break

Montes makes a few mistakes at key moments, and the Spanish pair takes advantage to make the difference.

Key stat:

  •  38% of break points converted  for Arruabarrena / Lobo
  •  only 22%  for Collombon / Montes

A frustrating defeat.

 A complicated dynamic for Collombon / Montes 

This elimination confirms a difficult start to the season for the pair:

  • Defeat at  first round of the Miami P1 
  • Defeat at  first round of the Cancun P2 
  • And now  third entry exit at Newgiza 

A series that raises questions about the current dynamics of the duo.

 Bergeron / Fonteny, France's last hopes 

After these two eliminations, only one French pair remains in contention:
 Johan Bergeron / Timéo Fonteny 

They will enter the arena  this evening around 18pm facing an enormous challenge:

 Edu Alonso / Juan Tello 

A complicated match on paper, they will have to pull off a feat to extend the French adventure in Cairo.

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 !
