We know the last square of the Grand Master of Swedene de l 'APT Padel Tour. At the end of a day full of emotions, we will have 3 Argentinian pairs and 1 Brazilian pair on display this Saturday afternoon.

La Ginga in Sweden

Da Cunha and Flores fit well in the match and jostle the Argentinian pair a priori favorite. The Brazilians play very fair and totally crack Andrés Britos and Yain Melgratti. The latter is “blocked from the back”. He called on the physiotherapist after the loss of the first set. 6/3

“Come on it will pass. If it doesn't happen today, it will happen tomorrow ”, Andrés said to Yain, referring to his physical problems. And Melgratti gradually returns to the fight imposed by Flores and Da Cunha.

The tactic is to put Britos in the fridge, but Melgratti grits his teeth, and begins to show his best version. The game is hotly contested, and the set can fall to either side.

It is ultimately the Brazilians who are once again making the difference. A decisive punto de oro is won, and they advance to the APT major semi-final for the second time this season. 6/3

Chiostri / Alfonso's tiki-taka

Bejarano and Torre did not come to make up the figures. Agus' and Micky take the break from the first game to take the lead.

But Gonzalo Alfonso no longer has any physical problems and the No.1s are really impressive. When this pair is in this state of form, taking a point from them is a very difficult task. Alfonso / Chiostri takes place. 6/3

It is a pure pleasure to see the padel very aesthetic of the numbers 1. The two men are at the top of their game but their opponents hang on. Federico and Gonzalo are too strong today. 6/4

“It's been a long time since we played at this level.”, says Gonzalo Alfonso to Padel Magazine.

Argentinian magic

Maxi Sanchez Blasco and Cristian Gutierrez start this Brazil - Argentina clash in the best possible way: by winning the first three games. But Flores and Julianoti do not panic and they return to the match by recovering the break.

Stefano Flores pays for the lack of competition in recent months. On the contrary, Cristian Gutierrez is getting better and better physically. A new break for the Argentines is final for the first round. 6/4

"We will do it. Come on, let's start playing. ”, Stefano launches angrily after winning a game. In this set, important points are celebrated in Portuguese. Julio Julianoti shows his best version and Stefano Flores rediscovers sensations. 6/3

This match deserved a third set. Maxi Sanchez Blasco and Cristian Gutierrez pass a new milestone together. They take their level of play up a notch to eliminate pair # 2 from the tournament. 6/3

And go to the show !

The start of the match is rather balanced. Arce / Dal Bianco seems very slightly above, but the public factor is on the side of players resident in Sweden. The first games hung with break opportunities for both teams, but the servers are holding on.

From that moment on, the show Dal Bianco / Arce begin. Cayetano Rocafort and Simon Vazquez are completely overwhelmed. 6/2

The Argentines are having a very good day, and when they play at this level nothing can derail them. Faithful to their fraternal complicity, Franco and Maxi unroll and offer themselves a place in the last square of the Grand Master of Sweden. 6/4
