He is there, the first quarter-final ofAlix Collombon this season on Premier Padel ! The Frenchwoman offered herself, alongsideAraceli Martinez, his first quarter-final of the year!
Attention, we are talking about the circuit Premier Padel ! Indeed, the Lyonnaise has already played several quarter-finals this season on the FIP circuit :
- Quarter-final at FIP Gold Valladolid
- Victory at FIP Gold Saltillo
- Quarter-final at FIP Platinum Sardegna
- Quarter-final at FIP Gold Lyon
- Semi-final at FIP Platinum Marbella
This quarter-final comes at just the right time for the Frenchwoman since it is a Major! Alix Collombon will therefore be able to stock up on points at the end of this week. If Alix's road ends in the quarter-finals, she will leave with 360 point. But, if the Franco-Spanish pair achieves the feat today, they can hope to leave with 720 point !
Two factors helped the Frenchwoman in this qualification for the quarter-finals:
- First of all, seed status. Being seeded 16th in the tournament, Alix and Araceli avoided top players from the first round. A factor that should not be overlooked, especially when we remember Alix Collombon's disappointment at not being seeded in Paris (17th pair in the tournament).
- The defeat of the seed 6, Patty Llaguno et Lucia Sainz, did the business of Collombon / Martinez. Avoiding another seed in the 8th finals was beneficial to Alix and Araceli, who were therefore able to qualify for the rest of the competition!
Alix Collombon and Araceli Martinez will play today, against the tournament's 3rd seed: Bea Gonzalez et Deli BreaThe meeting will be followed on the YouTube channel Premier Padel, from 23:30 p.m., in France :
It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
