The qualifications of the Premier Padel Rotterdam P1 continue this Monday, and two French players will play for their place in the main draw. After their successes in the opening, Dylan Guichard et Léa Godallier now have one last obstacle to overcome.
Guichard faces the Gutiérrez / Valdés challenge
In the first round Guichard (137) and its Spanish partner Diego Dorta Diaz (134) have dismissed Bastien Blanqué / Johan Bergeron after a fight lasting almost two hours (5/7 7/6).
But for a place in the final table, the step looks much higher: the duo will have to face the seeded 1 , Agustín Gutiérrez (68) et Javi Valdés (78) , two regulars at the very highest level. The match is scheduled for the second 10 a.m. rotation on the central court .
Godallier / Marchetti: a balanced match
In the ladies, Lea Godallier (61) reunited with his former Italian partner Giorgia Marchetti (56) . Facing the Dutch wildcards Luttikhuis / Hemmes , the favorites trembled but secured the essential (7/6 6/3). After a first set snatched in the tie-break, they better controlled the second set to win in two sets.
To reach the final table, they will now have to compete against the seeded 6 , Patricia Martinez Fortun (59) et Jana Montes Cabruja (62) . A poster that promises to be very balanced , especially since Godallier knows Fortun well, a former partner with whom she recently shared the track. See you in the third rotation at 10 a.m. on the short 2 .
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 !
