Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier failed in the Bordeaux P2 qualifying final, but a tiny hope remained, with the forfeit of seed n°2 Brea / Triay, opening the door to a repechage in the main draw.
However, The French pair are the lowest ranked among the losers in the qualifying finals, which means that she has practically no chance to take advantage of this unexpected ticket.

Especially since, according to our information, the two players did not stay thereWithout a physical presence this Thursday morning, access to the board becomes impossible.

Pujals / Valenzuela eliminated… but perhaps re-educated?

The pair Sara Pujals Perez / Daiara Valenzuela, seeded number 7 in the qualifiers, logically lost to the favorites of the previas, Ana Catarina Nogueira / Martina Fassio, on the undisputed score of 6 / 1 6 / 3An expected result given the ranking and the dynamics of the two teams.

But just as their adventure seemed to be over at the gates of the main draw, a unexpected scenario could reopen the door to competition for them.

The Brea/Triay package changes everything

Following the Brea/Triay pair package, Premier Padel announced that the highest-ranked losing pair in the previas finals could be integrated directly into the main table, provided that present yourself and sign the attendance certificate at 9:30 a.m..

If there are multiple teams present at that time, no draw will be made : the place will automatically go to the highest ranked pair among the signers.

And that's not all: this lucky loser would integrate directly to the round of 16, since the number 2 seed – the one that Brea / Triay was supposed to face – was exempted from first round.

A rare and precious opportunity, which could therefore offer Pujals / Valenzuela direct access to the last sixteen... despite their defeat in qualifying.

But be careful... nothing is done

If we have actually seen Sara Pujals walking the aisles of the ice rink, the number 7 seed is not not the highest ranked among the losers of the previas. Indeed, the pair Rebeca Lopez Lopez / Amanda Lopez Moral, seeded number 6, could well create a surprise by showing up at the last minute... and thus clinch the famous winning ticket for the eighths.

In this context, an eighth final in a tournament Premier Padel represents a rare opportunity, and the Spanish pair seems have all the cards in hand to beat the others on the wire.

And Carla Touly / Jessica Ginier in all this?

First important information: the two French women did not stay in Bordeaux, a sign that they do not really believe in a possible miracle.

Second element: they are the lowest ranked pair among the losers in the qualifying final. In other words, They would only have a chance of making the main draw if none of the other higher-ranked pairs show upThis scenario seems highly unlikely.

And to finish, Sara Pujals, former partner of Alix Collombon, was indeed seen there. So the carrots seem to be already cooked. for French women.

Godallier and Luján, regrets to nourish

The French Léa Godallier and the Spanish Laura Lujan Rodriguez may have real regrets after their first-round defeat against a pair they could have competed against better. Beatriz Caldera / Carmen Goenaga, their killers, are now reunited favorites to reach the quarter-finals in this Bordeaux P2, a great opportunity for players who are gradually establishing themselves in the circuit landscape.

As for Caldera / Goenaga, they are in a good position to continue their journey. But that will be another story… to be told after the eighth round.
