Pincho Fernandez and José Antonio Diestro won this Thursday evening against Franco Dal Bianco and Maxi Arce at the Cape Town Master!

The Spaniards are still undefeated on the circuit of Fabrice Pastor, they who won the APT last season Padel Tenerife Open Tour.

Today they faced A1 number 1s for the first time Padel for a match that smelled of powder. We expected a very big shock between these two pairs, and we were not disappointed!

Indeed, the two duos offered the spectators present a battle in three sets, finally won at the end of the suspense by Fernandez and Diestro. The Spaniards, who had nevertheless conceded a mini-break from the start of the third set tie-break, were able to use all their experience to turn the tide and win 6/4 3/6 7/6 (2). At the end of the match, the two pairs, aware of the superb fight they had just fought, shared a nice hug.

Thanks to their victory, Diestro and Fernandez will find Britos and Sanchez tomorrow, who did not shake today, like all the top seeds, except for Dal Bianco / Arce of course.
