WPT Malmö Open: Castello / Collombon in the quarters!

Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello created the surprise against the seeded 4 of the World Padel Tour Malmö Open 2022 this morning in eighth! They will therefore play their fifth quarter-final of the season tomorrow!

Like in Menorca, Castello and Collombon qualify for the quarter-finals in Malmö! And to achieve this it will have been necessary to beat one of their pet peeves. Indeed, close to creating the feat against Patty Llaguno (9) and Virginia Riera (7) during their last two clashes, the Lyonnaise and her partner finally succeeded in Sweden! This time again, it took three rounds to decide between these two pairs.

“To dominate is not to win”, here is a maxim that Llaguno and Riera should not forget, they who have received a real lesson in realism from the Franco-Spanish pair. Indeed, Alix and Jessica, who won 47% of the points of the match, managed to break their opponents 5 times in as many attempts. Opposite, Patty and Virginia will also have taken the service of their rivals 5 times, out of 16 occasions…

Thanks to this success, Alix and Jessica will compete tomorrow against the new Delfi Brea/Marta Marrero pair. For a first in the semi-finals?
