Barely finished on World Padel Tour Valencia Open, and the P2000 of Perpignan, that it is already time for some players to take the road to Marbella where the first Challenger of 2021 is being played! Indeed, the preprevias begin this Sunday evening with the gentlemen! There was to be a Frenchman Thomas Leygue, associated with Asier Maqueda, but the Franco-Spanish duo finally withdrew.

Very good pairs will compete against each other

The main draw will start on Wednesday and the least we can say is that this tournament only prohibits the top 12 players and the top 8 players have refueled! It's more or less a FIP Gold level tournament that we should attend.

In the men, we find very large pairs like Gonzalez / Rico, Coello / Lamperti Allemandi / Nieto or even Bergamini / Campagnolo! Several other teams will be in ambush, Ramirez / Yanguas, Leal / Semmler, Piñeiro / Mieres, Moya / Alonso, Moyano / Rico… In short, heavy!

Benjamin Tison and Teo Zapata are also in the game, they will start Wednesday afternoon against a pair from the previas.

At the girls, the big favorites will be Aranzazu Osoro and Victoria Iglesias. The semi-finalists of the Valencia Open will try to win their first title together. Behind we find new associations with players who have recently separated : Carolina Navarro / Eli Amatriain and Sofia Araujo / Ana Catarina Nogueira. Is it also over between Araujo and Amatriain? We should know more soon.

Among the French, it is two tricolors who participate in this first Challenger of 2021. Mélissa Martin, associated with Nerea Derbis, starts Tuesday at 20:00 pm in Previa against a qualified pair. Léa Godallier and Ariadna Cañellas start in the round of 17. A big match awaits them Wednesday at 30pm against one of the revelations of the start of the season, the Bellver / Jensen pair! Dominated in three sets during their only clash, in Madrid, Léa and Ari will certainly be keen to take their revenge!
