Carla Touly has ended her professional padel career just hours after winning the French Championships. Touly and Léa Godallier beat Louise Bahurel and Lucile Pothier 6/3, 6/1 in the final in Agen, giving Touly her first national title
Touly announced the decision on social media. She said she simply felt it was time to take another path, one that would make her happier, pointing to the daily demands of the professional circuit: constant travel, ongoing investment and frequent changes of partner. She added that she had no regrets about the adventure and wanted to move forward with more lightness
Touly moved to padel around four years ago after more than twenty years in professional tennis. She reached a career-high world ranking of 70 and became France's number three player. Her record includes several FIP Bronze titles, multiple FIP Silver finals and a bronze medal with the French team at the 2024 European Championships
