Complicated start to the season for Léa Godallier. Committed alongside Sandra Bellver Fructuoso, the French woman, seed 4 in qualifying, failed to pass the first round of the Riyadh P1, on the other hand, is fine for Thomas Leygue and Dylan Guichard.
Complicated defeat for Godallier and Bellver
After more than 2h10 of play, the Franco-Spanish pair bows to Laura Luján Rodríguez and Marta Arellano Navarro on the score of 6/4 3/6 6/1.

This is a underperformance which hurts, especially in a season where every point is crucial. By the reduction in the number of teams in the main draws of Premier Padel, Léa Godallier, who used to directly integrate the final table, must now go through the qualifications. A bad operation for the Frenchwoman, who leaves Riyadh without a single point, thus complicating the objective of quickly returning to the main draw in the next tournaments.
Leygue and Guichard advance to the second round of qualifying
On the male side, the Two French recruits have successfully entered. Thomas Leygue and Alvaro Montiel beat the Spanish Jose David Sanchez and Jorge Ruiz after a controlled match 7 / 6 6 / 3. Tomorrow, they will have to raise their level against the seed 6 in qualifying, Mario Ortega and Fran Ramirez Navas, the match is scheduled for the second rotation around 10 a.m. (French time) on center court.
On their side, Dylan Guichard and Clément Geens did not tremble in the face of a local wild card, Hussain Almiaraj and Sattam Alshahrani, with a quick victory 6 / 1 6 / 0. Tomorrow, a big test awaits them in front of the seed 1 in qualifying, Guillermo Collado Losada and Javier Martinez, the match is scheduled for the first rotation from 8 a.m. (French time) on the central track.

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 !
