It is rare to see three tie-breaks in one match, but that's what it took to decide Victor Mena (68) et Jose solano (63) facing Jairus Baptist (28) et Francisco Guerrero (31) after nearly 2h30 of play in the first round of the Mexico Major. The two Spaniards put an end to the great momentum of Bautista and Guerrero, who were coming off a semi-final in Kuwait Premier Padel P1.

The match was extremely balanced, without any team really taking the upper hand. The statistics confirm this: both teams display an identical rate of 71% of points won on their service games and 29% on their return games.

The first tie-break fell in favor of Bautista and Guerrero, who confirmed their status as favorites. But Mena and Solano won the next two tie-breaks, giving themselves a great victory against a team in great form.

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 !
