On their side,  Camille Sireix / Tess De Vocht (TS8)  will challenge  Giulia Sussarello / Emily Stellato (TS4) .

The other two quarter-finals will pit  Ana Varo Ramos / Marcella Koek (TS1)  à  Natalia Molinilla Paniagua / Maria Delgado Medina (TS6) , and  María Portillo Pérez / Martina Parmigiani (TS3)  à  Eugenia Guimet / Aimee Gibson (TS5) .

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
