However, the very start of the match was more in favor of Argentina and the Spaniard, who got themselves two break points in the first game, then won their serve without trembling. But behind it is a hurricane of padel who went through them, Alix and Jessica putting a lot of pressure and winning the first set 6/1.

Visibly annoyed and uncomfortable on the left side, Aranzazu Osoro asked her partner to turn on the service games. A tactic which allowed them to win 3 games in the second round but which only delayed the deadline, Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello winning 6/1 6/3 in a match that they will have totally mastered.

 

In line with their high-end semi-final, they won their first tournament on the World Padel Tour, and Alix Collombon writes a new page for the padel French internationally.

A victory which should be very beneficial for the rest of the season for Castello / Collombon. Indeed, the Franco-Spanish pair suffered in the eighth and quarterfinals, winning matches in three sets against less well-ranked players, before raising their voice and dominating the duos ahead of them in the ranking! Very good omen for the next deadlines on the World Padel Tour !
