It was under a shy sun of the magnificent island of Menorca that the first match of the quarter-finals of this World Padel Tour Menorca Open. To get the day off to a good start, we had the right to a great encounter between the number 1 pair Ariana Sanchez – Paula Josemaria against Alix Collombon and Jessica Castello.

Victorious in two sets yesterday against Lucia Martinez and Esther Carnicero, the Franco-Spanish pair hoped to create a surprise this Friday against the big favourites.

A complicated start

Unfortunately for them, Sanchez and Josemaria had the idea of ​​consolidating their status as leaders and leaving no opening for the Lyonnaise and her partner.
It was after a punto de oro full of tension that Collombon – Castello, trailing 4/0, managed to win their first game. But the Spaniards were too strong and decided to speed up the game, thus concluding the first set in their favor .

No surprise

Recovered, the Frenchwoman and her teammate seemed to be well back in the game, even briefly taking the advantage in the second set. But the Spaniards had not said their last word and made it clear to their rivals.
The numbers 1 played an aggressive game and mastered the tricks to regain the advantage.
This second round unfortunately looked like deja vu for Alix and Jess.

Final score 6/2 – 6/2
