They were not far from abandonment... Alix Collombon et Léa Godallier came back from very far in this final to offer themselves a fourth consecutive title of French champions against Jessica Ginier et Carla Toully.

In the first round, everything went perfectly for the reigning champions, who came to reign a little more over French padel. Far from having a bad match, Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier made mistakes because of the quality of defense and attack French numbers 1 and 2.

Things weren't looking up for Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier who were trailing 6/1 4/1 0/30 on their service… until everything changed. The 2nd seed came back, even going for the break on Alix and Léa's serve. On the bench, the French number 1 is in tears, a pain in her wrist being the cause. We learn, by Robin Haziza, that Alix Collombon has been suffering from a forearm problem for some time, in particular because her game has evolved, becoming more aggressive. The games continued for Touly / Ginier who came back to a set all.

The negative spiral continued for the reigning French champions who lost their first game of engagement at the start of the third set. However, Léa and Alix are not French champions for nothing. With grit, strength and experience, The French champions are back, until you go looking for the break… and the break, to win the match!

Final score: 6/1 4/6 6/4.

Big disappointment for Carla Touly and Jessica Ginier who came close to a major feat. However, they can onlybe proud of their performance today and can properly savor their place as vice-champions of 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.
