Quarter-finals begin at Brussels P2 this Friday, with clashes between seeded teams that promise to be captivating, with new matches and new confrontations.
Coello / Tapia (1) against Cardona / Augsburger (10) — Act III
This is the third confrontation this season between the world number 1s and the young prodigies. Augsburger / Cardona, who are coming out of a grueling round of 2 after 30 hours of play.
One everywhere in terms of direct confrontations between the two pairs:
- A first surprise victory for Cardona / Augsburger, who eliminated the world number 1s in the round of 1 of the Santiago PXNUMX. A premature elimination for Coello / Tapia, came across an almost perfect pair in particular playing conditions (very fast track), favoring their aggressive style. Wall was also physically diminished following an injury to his right hand.
- Revenge taken by Coello / Tapia at Qatar Major, with a victory in two sets (6/4 6/4) in a tense match. The number 1s were able to make the difference in crucial moments. Wall also revealed in an interview that Cardona / Augsburger were one of the pairs that gave him the most trouble.
This third clash promises to be exciting: Coello / Tapia seem to have regained their best form since their victory in Doha, while Cardona / Augsburger, are a threat after having already made the leaders of the classification doubt.
Match scheduled for the last rotation of the day, around 20 p.m., depending on the progress of previous matches.
Bergamini / Navarro (7) vs Yanguas / Nieto (3)
First confrontation between these two pairs from the world's Top 10, both semi-finalists of the Qatar Major.
The seed 7, Bergamini / Navarro, continues its positive momentum since Qatar, with a controlled victory against Aguirre / Alfonso in eighth grade. Bergamini raised his level of play, while NAVARRO corrected his body language and his sometimes borderline behavior on the field.
The Spanish, seeded 3, Yanguas / Nieto, are the favorites. They have had a very consistent start to the season with four semi-finals in four tournaments, without a single defeat against a lower-ranked pair (only beaten by the world numbers 1 and 2). They hope to continue their momentum in Brussels.
Match scheduled for the second half of the day, around 18:30 p.m., on center court.
Galan / Chingotto (2) vs. Sanz / Gonzalez (5)
Newly associated this season, Sanz / Gonzalez are reaching a fourth quarter-final after being eliminated in the last 10 in Riyadh. Despite this consistency, they have not yet secured a significant victory against a Top XNUMX pair, although they have pushed Stupa / Lebron in three sets in Miami and held Yanguas / Nieto in Qatar. In Belgium, they had a difficult first match before a more convincing eighth.
For their part, the world's 2nd pair, Galan / Chingotto, has had an excellent start to the season with two titles in Miami and Santiago, and a final at the Qatar Major. In Brussels, they responded well after a tight first set in their opening match.
The two pairs have already met in the quarter-finals in Santiago, with a victory for Galan / Chingotto (6/3 6/2).
Match scheduled for the third rotation, around 14 p.m., depending on the progress of the women's matches.
Ruiz/Lebron (4) vs. Di Nenno/Tello (6)
Opposition between two new associations.
On the one hand, Juan lebron, forced to call on Alex Ruiz after the package of Stupa, got this unprecedented partnership off to a good start. The two players had a more competitive second round, but qualified for the first quarter-final together.
On the other hand, the Argentines Di Nenno / Tello, just reunited after their respective separations with Garrido et Libaak, already show great complementarity and a very solid game, with less than two hours spent on the field. This match also marks the reunion between Di Nenno and his former partner Lebron, with whom he finished last season.
Match scheduled on court 2 at 15 p.m..

A big sports enthusiast and former tennis player, I discovered padel a few years ago without really focusing on it. Then I became addicted to this sport by practicing it and watching the premier padel matches. Looking forward to sharing the 2025 news with you!
