After the first-round defeats of the Tison/Mena and Collombon/Iglesias, we expected a lot from Léa Godallier and Marta Caparros in Madrid. Indeed, the Tahitian and her partner, quarter-finalists in Valence, had inherited a rather lenient draw and immediately represented the greatest chance of the French side of the round of XNUMX.

Unfortunately, the French and the Andalusian suffered the law of qualified Sandra Hernandez and Martina Fassio, who won a big fight of just over three hours: 6/4 5/7 7/5. Too bad for Léa and Marta who had the opportunity to close the debates at 5/3 on their serve in the last set. Alas, a lack of realism from the Franco-Spanish pair put the outsiders back in the game. Behind, they were able to chain four games in a row to put an end to the hopes of Léa and Marta.

Thanks to this success, Fassio and Hernandez qualified for the round of 7, where Claudia Jensen and Veronica Virseda were already waiting for them, victorious over Barrera/Caldera in two sets: 5/6 0/XNUMX.

Godallier and Caparros are now preparing for the WPT Malaga Open, a particularly important tournament for Marta who will play at home.
