The Chile Open will remain forever etched in the memory of our Frenchwoman Alix Collombon. Alongside the Spaniard Carla Mesa, they offer themselves a prestigious victory against the 3rd world pair Marta Ortega and Beatriz Gonzalez.

In this round of 16, the Franco-Spanish pair did not start out as the favorite against the recent Rioja Open finalists.

Despite losing the first set 6/4, Alix and Carla manage to take the next two sets 6/2 6/3 and even end the match on a shutout.

One of the key elements: the 5 puntos de oro won out of the 8 obtained.

A battle of more than 2 hours of match and a first big victory for Collombon / Mena in 2023 after a complicated defeat against the Alayeto twins in the first round of the World Padel Tour The Rioja Open. 

Except surprise, next round against Delfi Brea / Sofia Aurajo in quarter of the Chile Open. Collombon / Messa will not be favorites but after an exploit such as this, there will undoubtedly be a match and the semi-final is necessarily the objective.
