Their path could, however, be strewn with pitfalls, with a possible duel in the quarterfinals against  Cardona and Augsburger .

Finally, the new association between  Tino Libaak and Javi Garrido  will also be closely followed, with a first round against  José Antonio Diestro / Juanlu Esbrí  and a possible quarter against Tapia and Coello.

One of the most anticipated matches of this first round will undoubtedly be the one between  Alex Ruiz / Maxi Sanchez  and the new pair  Javi Leal / Fran Guerrero , which promises a big duel.

On the side of  Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto (TS4) . The latter will face the new pair as soon as they enter the competition.  Lucas Campagnolo / Nachi Sager  and could find in quarter  Martin Di Nenno and Juan Tello (TS6) .

For  Claudia Fernandez and Bea Gonzalez   (TS3) , the  journey to the semi-finals  seems affordable, but they might find themselves on their way  Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez  or the pair  Marta Ortega / Alejandra Alonso .

Another significant new alliance is that of  Sofia Araújo / Andrea Ustero (TS4) , which starts against the winning pair between  Fassio / Bidahorria  et  Caldera / Goenaga This tandem could find the second seed  Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea  in the semi-final, a shock in perspective.

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 !
