Le  Rotterdam P2  has completely reshuffled the deck in the men's competition. After a day of absolutely crazy quarter-finals,  Three of the top four seeds were eliminated. .

Among the day's big deals,  Mike Yanguas / Coki Nieto  secured a significant victory against  Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger (TS3) ,  7 / 6 6 / 3 .

An important success for the Spanish pair, which confirms that they are capable of beating the best teams on the circuit in the big events.

Yanguas/Nieto are back to their best.

After their  final in Madrid , Yanguas / Nieto had experienced a  Paris Major more disappointing .

In Rotterdam, they are back on track with a benchmark victory.

Against Lebrón/Augsburger, they perfectly managed a very intense match, notably thanks to a  Coki Nieto was huge in the first set .

The slow track conditions, with a heavy ball due to the humidity, clearly favoured their ability to defend, return an extra ball and disrupt the opposing offensive rhythm.

A tie-break completely under control

The first set was very close and logically went to a tie-break.

And here, Yanguas / Nieto leave no room for doubt.

They inflict a  7/0  to Lebrón / Augsburger to take control of the match.

A major psychological blow.

Behind them, the top seed 6 continues with the same momentum.

Nieto remains extremely solid, Yanguas provides excellent support, and Lebrón/Augsburger are no longer able to regain their usual impact.

The second set goes to them:  6/3 .

Another big win against a top pair

This victory confirms one thing:  Yanguas/Nieto can clearly look the very best pairs in the eye .

They had already shown some very good things in recent weeks, notably with their run to the final in Madrid.

In Rotterdam, they took another step forward by knocking out a pair like Lebrón / Augsburger, who were among the tournament favorites.

And most importantly, they do it without faltering in the important moments.

A very special reunion in the semi-final

The semi-final scenario will be particularly interesting.

Yanguas / Nieto will meet again  Franco Stupaczuk / Jon Sanz who have also just created a big surprise by eliminating  Ale Galán / Fede Chingotto ,  6 / 4 6 / 4 .

A poster that's bound to be special.

The four players know each other perfectly since  Yanguas evolved with Stupaczuk , While  Nieto shared the track with Jon Sanz for a long time. .

In other words, there will be very few tactical secrets between them.

A real opportunity to reach another final

With Galán / Chingotto and Lebrón / Augsburger eliminated, the bottom half of the draw has completely opened up.

Yanguas / Nieto now have a  A real opportunity to reach a new final Premier Padel .

But Stupa / Sanz also arrive with a lot of confidence after their benchmark victory against the number 2s.

The semi-final therefore promises a real duel of styles, but also a match where each player knows perfectly the habits of his former partner.

Only Tapia/Coello save the hierarchy

This day has caused a lot of damage to the favorites.

 Paquito Navarro / Martín Di Nenno (TS4)  were eliminated by  Momo González / Lucas Campagnolo , while Galán / Chingotto and Lebrón / Augsburger also left the tournament.

Result: among the top four seeds,  Only Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello remain in contention. .

The semi-finals will therefore be:

 Tapia/Coello vs González/Campagnolo 
 Stupaczuk / Sanz vs Yanguas / Nieto 

Rotterdam completely broke the hierarchy.

And for  Mike Yanguas / Coki Nieto The door to a new final is now wide open.

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 !
