Through matches with twists and turns, the quarter-finals of this APT Rioja Open have delivered their verdict.

Sanchez Blasco/De Pascual out in force!

Tito Allemandi and Tolito Aguirre thrilled the SuperDuomo audience. Their very high level of play allowed them to easily take over Da Cunha / Ensslin Alves.

In the second meeting, Maxi Sanchez Blasco and Juani De Pascual confirmed that they were claiming the highest places in the ranking. Their victory in two sets against Britos / Restivo proves that they are no longer promises, but talents of the present.

The numbers 1 Dal Bianco and Arce had to hang on to come back in a particularly difficult match. Julianoti and Melgratti have long made believe in the feat by taking the first set, but the consistency of the Argentinians made the difference and it allowed them to qualify for a new semi-final.

In the last match of the day, Matias del Moral wanted to face his La Rioja home crowd, but unfortunately this evening it was not possible. Augustin Torre and Diego Ramos playing at an exceptional level throughout the week, the Frugoni / Del Moral pair had to suffer their law. The Argentinian and the Uruguayan, on fire, managed to find a place in the last four of the tournament.
