The third day of Master Final of Caracas de l 'A1Padel was marred by bad weather, disrupting the schedule once again. On Friday, three matches postponed from the previous day due to rain were played, as well as two matches from the last day of the group stage. However, persistent humidity on the court forced the organizers to suspend the last two scheduled matches.

Arce-Dal Bianco in the semi-finals

Before the interruption, the world's number 2 pair, Arce-Dal Bianco, validated his ticket for the semi-finals thanks to a solid victory against Pereyra-De Pascual (6/4 7/6)They will close their group stage tomorrow against Yob-Del Moral, who lost their match against Sanchez-Chiostri (6/3 7/6)This match, without any stake in terms of ranking, will allow Arce-Dal Bianco to refine their game before the semi-finals.

One last place to grab in Group B

The decisive duel between Sanchez-Chiostri et Pereyra-De Pascual will determine the second qualifying pair from Group B. The winner of this match will face Aimar Goñi et Adrián Allemandi in the semi-finals. Allemandi, in addition to qualifying undefeated with Goñi, offered indirect help to his friend Tolito Aguirre beating Abud-Frugoni (7/6 6/2)A victory for Abud-Frugoni would have deprived Aguirre-Alfonso of qualification.

Aguirre-Alfonso snatch their qualification

In group A, Alfonso and Aguirre had to draw on their resources to beat Rolla-Lopez (4/6 6/4 6/3). Despite their elimination, Rolla-López showed fighting spirit, but it was not enough to reverse the result. With this victory, Aguirre-Alfonso will face Arce-Dal Bianco in the semi-finals in an anticipated classic between the two best pairs on the circuit.

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 !
