Once again we will have two French in an eighth-final of the World Padel Tour since Léa Godallier and Ari Cañellas have joins Castello / Collombon.

Two Frenchwomen will play tomorrow the knockout stages of World Padel Tour Malmö Open. After Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello's victory this morning against Bidahorria / Martinez, Léa Godallier and Ariadna Cañellas dominated Carolina Orsi and Nuria Rodriguez tonight.

If it took them three sets to eliminate the Italian-Spanish pair, Léa and Ari can still boast of being the only pair to have beaten a duo from the girls' qualifications today in Sweden. Indeed, in an afternoon marked by some surprises, two pairs from the previas imposed their law against pairs from the main draw. Brito / Sussarello dominated Clasca / Cortiles (6/3 6/2) and Pujals / Traviesa beat Bellver / Jensen (2/6 6/4 6/2). And at the time of writing, Fernandez de Osso and Reiter are leading a round nowhere against the Wild Card table Akerberg / Paz. The pairs of previas are therefore in very good shape in Sweden!

The sensation of the day goes to Barbara Las Heras and Veronica Virseda, who topped the 6 seed Iglesias / Osoro, and in straight sets please: 6/3 7/5! The winners of the FIP Gold in Milan are in great shape. They will want to confirm tomorrow against Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello, whom they have just beaten in Italy. Will the Franco-Spanish pair take revenge and offer themselves a second quarter-final in a row on an Open? It would be historic!

For Léa Godallier and Ari Cañellas, the task promises to be much more complicated against the numbers 1 Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar, a pair that remains on 19 consecutive victories on the World Padel Tour !
