It's simple, three of the four top-ranked pairs bowed for their entry into contention in this APT Padel Tour Master Final !

Dal Bianco and Arce as bosses in group 2

In the magnificent setting of Rosario, the day began with a very close match between Brazilians. Outsiders Lucas Da Cunha and Joao Flores initially put pressure on their compatriots by taking the first set. Mentally Julio Julianoti and Stefano Flores managed to pick up one sleeve everywhere but following a contracture in Stefano's calf, they were forced to retire at 4/6 7/6 2/3. We hope that the Brazilian will have recovered and that he will be able to hold his ground today.

A second already crucial match for Julianoti and Flores, who will find Argentines Barrera and Bejarano, who could not stop the dynamics of the pair at the end of the season: Arce / Dal Bianco. The numbers 2 in the standings were once again intractable, they won 6/4 6/3 and got off to a perfect start in the competition.

Two surprises in group 1!

In group 1, the first match pitted the number 4 pair, Melgratti / Oliveira, against a duo formed for the occasion, Aguirre / Torre. The Argentines, who know each other very well having played together in the past, did not need a warm-up lap. They immediately made a level playing field with their opponents and were able to make the break at the key moment. After winning the first set 7/5, “Tolito” and Edurrdo Torre continued to put the pressure on, taking advantage of their opponents' unusual fouls to win in straight sets (7/5 6/2). Oliveira and Melgratti are already back to the wall since they will have to dominate the numbers 1 today to be able to continue in the tournament ...

Numbers 1 who are also back to the wall since they were surprised by their counterparts Nicolas Egea and Maxi Sanchez! The duo formed for the occasion was able to find the resources to return to battle after losing the first set in the tie-break. The Argentines create the exploit of the first day by winning 6/7 6/4 6/3. Today it's a real “death match” which will oppose pairs 1 and 4 of the APT Padel Tower !
