We were treated to two surprises during the round of XNUMX from the A1 Padel Verbier Master. After a day of round of XNUMX marked by the domination of the favorites, the round of XNUMX saw two seeds go by the wayside.

We knew that the meeting between Barrera / Chiostri (TS6) and Luque / Gonzalez was going to be hot and it was, the Spaniards winning a match in two sets hung 7/5 6/4.

On the other hand, we did not imagine Maldonado (63) and De Astoreca (53) standing up to the head of series 3 Ramos / Torre. Still, the Argentine youngsters played their luck to the hilt and were able to thwart a pair that have played in two finals this season. Players aged 19 and 20 respectively win 6/3 1/6 6/2 and qualify for the first quarter-final of a major tournament. This Friday they will try to thwart the odds again against Santiago Rolla and Yain Melgratti.

In the other matches, the top seeds did the job, with a small alert for Tolito and Tito, who needed three sets to eliminate Puppo / Pereyra. Today the seed 2 will have to regain all her confidence if she wants to get out of the Britos/Sanchez trap.

The shift schedule:
