Chichester’s Lisa Phillips shines in Mexico

Local athlete Lisa Phillips has made waves in the international padel circuit by reaching the quarter-finals in a prestigious FIP Gold event held in Mexico.

This event is the fourth highest ranked tournament globally, and Phillips’ outstanding performance has nearly doubled her international points, propelling her to an impressive ranking to inside the top 180 in the world.

Phillips partnered with a Mexican she had never played with before. Despite the unfamiliar pairing, the duo battled their way through to the quarter-finals of the tournament before losing to a strong Spaniard and Venezuelan who had knocked out the no.2 seeds in the previous round.
