Alix Collombon ( 26th in the world ) and his Spanish partner Araceli Martinez ( 26th in the world ) begin their training today Rotterdam P1 And the draw didn't give them any gifts: they immediately faced Lucía Sainz (18th) et Patricia Llaguno (20th) (TS11), two former world number 1s.
On paper, the duel is balanced, even if experience and ranking give a slight advantage to Sainz and Llaguno. However, the dynamic could play in favor of the Franco-Spanish: the Spanish remain on two eliminations in round of XNUMX and even fell last week from the 16th in Germany P2 . Suffice to say that they do not arrive with full confidence.
Collombon and Martinez therefore have a playing card in this match which promises to be a close one. In case of victory, a colossal obstacle already awaits them in the last sixteen: the pair Paula Josemaría / Ariana Sanchez , world number 2. Another difficult draw for the Lyonnaise and her partner, but before that, they will have to overcome the solid barrier represented by the Sainz / Llaguno duo.
The match is scheduled for second rotation of 18:30 p.m. on court 1.
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 !
