The  Valencia P1 quarter-finals  compete this Friday in  Fonteta Several highly anticipated posters are on the program, including a full-scale test for  Alejandro Galán  et  Federico Chingotto  facing the tournament's in-form pair,  Juan Tello  et  Maxi Maple . For the ladies,  Martina Calvo  et  Marta Ortega  will try to confirm their rise to power against  Paula Josemaría  et  Bea González .

Galán and Chingotto face the danger of Arce/Tello

This is undoubtedly the most intriguing poster of the day.

On one side, Juan Tello and Maxi Arce arrive on a roll after their impressive victory against  Javi Garrido  et  Lucas Bergamini The two Argentinians have displayed an excellent level since the start of the tournament and seem increasingly comfortable against the best pairs on the circuit.

On the other hand, Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto are still in contention, but without truly convincing. Pushed to  third set  during their  first two matches The world number 2s are still finding their bearings in the Valencian conditions after their final played in Rome.

On paper, Chingalán remains the favorite. But given the current momentum and the difficulties encountered since the start of the week, this match could be much closer than expected.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 15pm on the central track.

Leal and Guerrero are smiling again

The other men's match to watch will pit  Juan Lebrón  et  Leo Augsburg  à  Javi leal  et  Fran Guerrero. 

A quarter-final appearance that rewards the return to form of the Andalusian pair. After a difficult start to the season, particularly for Javi Leal who changed partners several times before finding stability alongside Fran Guerrero, the two Spaniards finally seem to have found the right formula.

But the challenge ahead is immense.

On the other side, Lebrón and Augsburger have been impressing for several weeks. Winners of the  Brussels P2 They have had an almost perfect tournament so far in Valencia.

For Leal and Guerrero, this is a great opportunity to reunite  final four on Premier Padel The answer will come late morning, during the second rotation on the central track.

Calvo and Ortega want to confirm

In the women's category, the clash between  Marta Ortega / Martina Calvo  et  Paula Josemaría / Bea González  attracts particular attention.

The Ortega/Calvo partnership is in good form. In two matches in Valencia, they have only conceded two goals.  seven games  and display an impressive level of play.

Last week, at the Foro Italico in Rome, they had already given Bea and Paula a tough time, pushing them to a third set. Josémaría and González ultimately prevailed before losing in  semi final  at the end of a  legendary match against Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero. 

This time, Calvo and Ortega seem even stronger. Will that be enough to take down "La Perla" and "La Dynamita"? That's one of the big questions of this quarter-final day.
