THANK YOU AND ALWAYS !!! Like every end of the year ... we look back to see if we achieved or not what we set out to do ... Unfortunately I did everything possible to move my beloved foot forward (of the serious consequences that the 1st intervention left me) and thus be able to say goodbye with one last match at the @worldpadeltour_oficial Those who know me know that I am a fighter and I never lower my arms but due to the aftermath of the 6 operations in such a short time, at the moment, I have not been able to overcome them. I had surgery to continue competing and with peace of mind, as indicated by the professional in whom I placed all my trust, that in 2 weeks I was going to be in the gym and I have been struggling for 2 years. But I don't want to talk about this because I want to say goodbye to what MY LIFE was for 30 years with an eternal smile and gratitude. I would never have imagined EVERYTHING that the paddle gave me and I am not talking about the trophies, of having surpassed even my own dreams with 8 world championships, an Olympia, the first place in the ranking but because it gave me the strength to leave everything I wanted and show me that I was capable of reaching where many times I was told that it was impossible. Those small battles that were overcome, which are sometimes imperceptible, will always accompany me in the form of great learning for life in general. Like all those moments shared, suffered and enjoyed with each of my teammates (eternally grateful for having them by my side!), Coaches, preps, sponsors, coaches and leaders of the Argentina team (unforgettable 18 years that will remain in my 💖) , friends and of course my family, since I started they never let go of my hand and despite the sadness of being far away I always felt them very close. 🤗 Of course I miss that lifestyle and my great family suffers, but I enjoy it because I look back and it was all worth it. Thank you all for the support in all the high and low moments, in those of many lights or in the shade ... I always felt full of love! We will continue close because it is impossible to get away from this 🌎 of the paddle when he gave you so much ... ♥ ️ THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALWAYS !!!

And it is that Eyheraguibel is one of the most prominent proper names of the female paddle in the last decade. Argentina will go down in the history of padel as a sport myth after an extensive career rubbing shoulders with the best players of all time for 30 years.

A withdrawal that comes after a final journey full of injuries. Undergoing several interventions in recent years that never ended up fully recovered, has decided to step back and leave the elite paddle.

A Paula that will continue to be linked to the world of paddle tennis and that, surely, will have a relevant role in the training of young talents as a coach Star Vie and in what is his club, the CE Valladoreix.
