No surprises at the Pairs World Cup in KuwaitWhere Léa Godallier and his Italian partner Georgia Marchetti were dominated by the #5 seeded, Marta Ortega Gallego et Tamara Icardo AlcorisaThe Spanish women won in two sets. 6 / 3 6 / 4, After 1h32 game.

Godallier and Marchetti showed resilience in the second set, but their lack of efficiency on crucial points proved decisive. They converted no break points, compared to 29% for their opponents, and their serve output was lower (winning 61% of points on their first serve compared to 70% for Ortega/Icardo).

The Spanish team also dominated in the return game, winning 41% of the points on the opponent's serve, compared to only 29% for the Franco-Italian team.

This defeat marks the end of Léa Godallier's journey in this first edition of the FIP World Cup Pairswhere she represented the last French player still in contention after the earlier defeat of her former teammate in the French team, Alix Collombon.
