The competition Premier Padel au Paraguay,Asunción P2, began yesterday with the launch of the main draw. Today notably marks the entry into the competition of the world number 1s, the return of the duo Stupa / Lebron, as well as the rest of the first round matches.

Here the theoretical path of the first four seeds until the final:

Coello / Tapia (1)

  • 1st round: Miguel Deus / Nuno Deus
  • Eighth: Enrique Goenaga / Luis Hernandez Quesada ou Andres Fernandez Lancha / Enzo Jensen Sirvent
  • Quarter: Bergamini / Navarro (7) ou Libaak / Garrido
  • Half: Stupa / Lebron (3), Cardona / Augsburger ou Sanz / Gonzalez (5)
  • Final: Chingotto / Galan (2) ou Yanguas / Nieto (4)

Barring any major upsets, the world's number ones will have two first rounds well within their grasp. The first real test could come in the quarter-finals, against the number 1 seed. Bergamini / Navarro or to the new pair Libaak / Garrido, ranked 10th in the world.

In the semi-finals, Coello / Tapia could cross paths with Stupa / Lebron, the number 5 seed Sanz / Gonzalez, as well as young people Cardona / Augsburger, which have caused them difficulties this season.

In the event of a clear round, a new final against Chingotto / Galan is possible, for what would be a new “classic” of the circuit.

Chingotto / Galan (2)

  • 1st round: victory 6/3 6/3
  • Eighth: Javi Leal / Francisco Guerrero
  • Quarter: Alex Chozas / Sanyo Gutierrez ou Gonzalo Rubio / Javier Ruiz
  • Half: Yanguas / Nieto (4) ou Di Nenno / Tello (6)
  • Final: Coello / Tapia (1) ou Stupa / Lebron (3)

The duo Chingotto / Galan made a successful start to the tournament with a straight-set victory. They will face the young Spanish pair in the round of 16. Leal / Guerrero, to be followed closely.

The number 2 seed is not expected to face a top 8 opponent until the semi-finals.

Stupa / Lebron (3)

  • 1st round: Jaime Munoz / Agustin Gutierrez
  • Eighth: Federico Mouriño / Antonio Fernandez ou Manuel Aragon Herrera / Facundo Dehnike
  • Quarter: Sanz / Gonzalez (5) ou Augsburger / Cardona (9)
  • Half: Coello / Tapia (1) ou Bergamini / Navarro (7)
  • Final: Chingotto / Galan (2) ou Yanguas / Nieto (4)

It's the big return to competition for Stupa / Lebron, absent from the last two stages of the circuit Premier Padel due to the injury of Stupa.

After two first rounds that were apparently accessible, they could find themselves in the quarter-finals Sanz / Gonzalez or the promising ones Augsburger / Cardona, which they had faced in Riyadh.

A semi-final against Coello / Tapia, which they beat at Miami, could offer one of the best posters of the tournament.

Yanguas / Nieto (4)

  • 1st round: Lucas Campagnolo / Ignacio Sager
  • Eighth: Victor Ruiz / Francisco Manuel Gil ou Mario Ortega / Ivan Ramirez (Q)
  • Quarter: Di Nenno / Tello (6)
  • Half: Chingotto / Galan (2)
  • Final: Coello / Tapia (1) ou Stupa / Lebron (3)

The number 4 seed, Yanguas / Nieto, hopes to reach the last four, after their elimination in the quarter-finals at Brussels. To do this, they will have to confirm in their first two rounds before a potential duel against Di Nenno / Tello in quarter.
