Beaten in the first round of the previas du Premier Padel Paris Major by the Vano (82)/Serrano (122) pair, Charlotte Soubrié and Carla Touly return to our microphone on this match which was played in three sets and which they had started very well.

Not used to playing at this level

Carla Toully : “We had a very intense first set which we won. Then, having to do a second at this level, we were above our average level, and for me to keep this physical intensity, it was very hard.

Each lob stung my thighs, on each volley, I was maybe 10cm too far from the net, at this level it makes the difference. They turned the game around by delivering one more ball each time.

Charlotte Soubrié : “We had a big first set, I don't think we overplayed. I think they were taken by our atypical game. In the second, they were able to find solutions that we did not manage to find. On a few games, it turns to the second, we are good, we have the set and we have the break, behind, we have to push them, but we are not successful enough in doing it.

The turning point

Charlotte Soubrié : “I think it's three everywhere (in the second set), we can break them. We have the break, we had the upper hand on them, we had opportunities to do better. There are two or three points where we have to make the difference, me first.”

Carla Toully : “We lose the match, because the girls have been playing for many years padel. I know that by playing such an intense match, by not letting the ball pass, after a game and a half, I am in the tough. Their strength is that they know how to play “Spanish style”, giving themselves more time. Today we missed padel. "

“A match like that only makes you want to train and win this match!”

Charlotte Soubrié : “It's a somewhat positive defeat in quotes. We know our strengths with Carla and it's up to us when the girls adapt to our game to find solutions and give themselves more time so that the game turns in our favor.
