Hopes of qualifying for the last 16 have vanished for Thomas Leygue / Clement Geens et Léa Godallier / Sandra Bellver, all eliminated in the last sixteen of the Qatar Major.

Leygue and Geens bow to the “Alex”

The step was too high for Thomas Leygue et Clement Geens, opposed to the seed 9 composed of Álex Ruiz et Alex ChozasDespite a slight surge in the second set, the Franco-Belgian pair lost. 6 / 2 6 / 4.

After a one-sided first set, Leygue and Geens tried to get the machine going again in the second act, managing to debreaker to get back into the game. But against solid opponents on the important points, they fail to reverse the dynamic. Ruiz and Chozas conclude without trembling. Note that Ruiz / Chozas was not affected by the recent transfer window, unlike other pairs, like the disappointing match of Tello / Libaak, eliminated from their first match.

Qatar Major – Tello and Libaak fall on their entry against Patiniotis / Gala Sanchez – Really a surprise?

It is still necessary to remember the very good course of the Franco-Belgian duo, from qualifications, and who knew how to beat solid pairs like Huete / Perino and a Round of 16 in Major which confirms their current good form. We will see them again next week at Brussels P2, where they will try to extend this positive dynamic.

Godallier and Bellver fall with honors

Same fate for Léa Godallier et Sandra Bellver, defeats against the formidable seed 10, Beatriz Caldera Sanchez et Carmen Goenaga Garcia, on the score of 6 / 3 7 / 5.

If the first round is dominated by their opponents, Godallier and Bellver raise their level of play in the second. They manage to make the Spanish doubt. But, as with the men, the favorites remain strong in key moments and logically impose themselves.

An encouraging result despite everything for the Franco-Spanish pair, who showed a good level of play in Qatar. They will also be present next week in Brussels, this time passing through the qualification phases, with the aim of doing even better.

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 !
