The 2025 season has resumed its course for  Léa Godallier and Sandra Bellver , with contrasting results between the  FIP Tour  and the circuit  Premier Padel . If the qualifications of the  Gijon P2  and  Riyadh P1  were difficult, their performance noted at  FIP Silver of Valencia  shows that they are on the right track and ready to take on the challenges of this season.

 A solid week in Valencia 

Committed to  FIP Silver of Valencia ,  Godallier and Bellver  have chained three consecutive victories, confirming their  ability to compete with higher ranked players . The  quarterfinal  face  Esther Carnicera (33) / Bárbara Las Heras (48)  was a  real turning point , with a victory obtained at  mental  after a close match ( 5/7 7/6 6/2 ).

En  semi final , the Franco-Spanish pair has once again  shows character , pushing the  seeded 2 ,  Jimena Velasco / Noa Canovas , in one  third decisive set . Despite a defeat  6/1 6/7 6/4 , this match proved that they were  able to compete  with some of the best players on the FIP Tour.

 Gijón P2: a fight, but no reward 

A few days later,  Godallier and Bellver  have started the  Gijón P2 qualifications , with the ambition of securing a place in the main draw.  Seeded 5  qualifications, they achieved a  good start  face  Ariadna Cañellas Rodero (62) and Lucia Peralta Exposito   (75) , winning the first set  6/3 .

However,  their opponents never gave up , taking advantage of a  slight relaxation  and a  increased solidity in the exchange  to reverse the trend.  Godallier and Bellver finally lose in three sets  ( 3/6 6/2 6/4 ), letting slip a valuable opportunity to score points on the circuit  Premier Padel .

 A demanding but encouraging start to the season 

The circuit  Premier Padel  is more exciting than ever, and the  new regulation  restricting access to  main board  complicates the task of players in search of points. Despite this  defeat in Gijón , you must not  minimize progress  posted the previous week at  Valencia . The  FIP Tour  became a  essential step  in the construction of their season.
