Portuguese padel talent Francisca Cravo has enjoyed a remarkable week of success, securing three titles in seven days across two separate FIP Promises events. Following a recent victory in Elda, Spain, Cravo dominated the FIP Promises Caldas da Rainha tournament by claiming both the Under 14 and Under 16 girls' championships.
Tournament Highlights and Winners
The FIP Promises Caldas da Rainha event showcased rising stars across multiple age divisions.

With these results, Cravo has solidified her position, currently sitting second in the FIP Promises Europe Ranking.
