Gonzalo Rubio and Javi Ruiz, who are making their comeback together on the track this season, won against Paquito Navarro and Juan Tello.
This is the first surprise of this World Padel Tour Abu Dhabi Masters : Javi Ruiz and Gonzalo Rubio eliminate the seeded 4 of the tournament: Juan Tello / Paquito Navarro.
A victory in two sets for the Andalusians who start their new stage together in the best possible way. Dominating throughout the meeting, the outsiders imposed a fairly slow pace which did a lot of harm to Tello and Navarro. Dominated in his diagonal by his friend the Sevillian Rubio, Paquito never seemed to find his best version. At his side, “El Gato”, not favored by the slow conditions, could not be as decisive as usual. On the contrary Javi Ruiz knew how to distinguish himself by the accuracy of his interventions.
In the end, a well-deserved 6/4 7/5 victory for this pair which started the season at its best.
Thanks to this success, the Spaniards will find Jorge Ruiz and Javi Rico in the next round. Indeed, the Spaniards are opposed to a wild-card local, Al Ketbi/Al Ketbi.
