The FIP SILVER VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTONIO in Portugal succeeded in Albert Trillas Garcia et Julien Seurin, winners after an extremely hard-fought match against the qualified pair Samuel Rivas Garcia / Mateo Conte Gonzalez. After saving four match points, the Franco-Spanish pair won by a hair's breadth: 2/6 7/6 7/6.

No time for them to savor this victory, since they will continue this Thursday in the round of 16 against the top seed Javier Garcia / Javier Barahona, planned for the second rotation around 12h30.

On the French side, however, the adventure ends for the other two pairs involved in the main draw. Thomas Seux / Dorian Courrin, drafted as lucky losers, lost in two sets to the tournament's number 10s, Mario Del Castillo / Ignacio Piotto Albornoz (6 / 4 6 / 3).

On their side, Nicolas Rouanet / Thomas Vanbauce were unable to fully defend their chances. Thomas Vanbauce, who suffered a knee injury after tangling with the net, was forced to retire. The Frenchman is scheduled to undergo medical tests this Friday afternoon to learn more about the condition of his posterior ligament.

In the ladies, Louise Bahurel et Ana Fernandez De Osso Fuentes could do nothing against the number 1 seed, Marina Guinart España / Victoria Iglesias Segador.

Carla Toully et Martina Parmigiani also advance to the second round. They will face the Spanish pair seeded number 8, Ariadna Cañellas Rodero / Marta Arellano Navarro, victorious against Laura Buteau / Inès Roque de Pinho.
