Alix Collombon and Lorena Rufo failed to shake up the hierarchy this Friday in the quarter-final of the Greenweez Paris Major. The French n°1 and her Spanish teammate lost 7/5 6/3 in 1h55 of play once morest the newly formed pair of the Spaniard Alejandra Salazar and the Portuguese Sofia Araujo.
However, the match started well for the Spanish-French pair, who broke from the start, leading 2/0 then 4/1. But Salazar and Araujo then scored six of the next seven games to win 7/5 in the first set.
Stay alive
In the second set, Alix and Lorena constantly ran behind the score, suffering a total of four breaks and taking the opponent’s serve three times. While their backs were once morest the wall (2/5), they were fighting to stay alive (3/5).
But in the next game, Alix Collombon and Lorena Rufo lost their serve one last time – the seventh time out of eleven service games in the entire match.
And the feat faded away
Public support for the Franco-Spanish pair has failed to change the situation. No more than our survey on the Instagram page of Padel Magazine, according to which 76% of you thought that an exploit was possible!
