Tenerife wanted a show and she got it! At the of two halves in 3 sets, the poster for the final will be Oliveira/Chozas against Fernandez/Diestro.

Oliveira/Chozas, an epic pair

The day before yesterday, Miguel Oliveira had played very badly. Yesterday, the Portuguese player achieved one of the best performances of his career. His level of play was the "x factor" before the encounter, and Ramos/Torre's plan was to implode Miguel.

In the first set, all the balls go to the Portuguese player who fails to gain confidence. Alex Chozas wins the point when he touches the ball, but he almost never touches it. The fridge tactic is effective, and the Argentinian and the Uruguayan take the first set 6/3.

In the second set, the situation changes. Alex Chozas does not hesitate to raise his voice to his teammate 15 years older than him to change the tactic. The Portuguese is more comfortable and the game is turning. Agustin Torre argues with the referee, and Chozas/Oliveira forces the 3rd set.

At the break between sets, both pairs receive their second warning, resulting in a penalty point for each team. The first game of the 3rd set therefore begins at 15a, unusual!

On their way from the second set, Alex Chozas and Miguel Oliveira are playing at an exceptional level, which allows them to take the upper hand. It's amazing to see Miguel's ability to regain his game after a disastrous start to the match. The meeting is concluded 3/6 6/2 6/3.

Alex Chozas is in tears. At just 19 years old, the Argentinian talent will play his first final tomorrow!

Fernandez/Diestro take over

After beating Chiostri/Alfonso in the round of XNUMX, Fernandez and Diestro are the pair to beat in Tenerife. Opposite, Tito and Tolito are playing better and better, and want to show that they are at home on the APT Padel Tour.

At 5/5, Pincho Fernandez and José Diestro win the punto de oro which gives them the break. In the process, the Spaniards manage to conclude the first set 7/5.

In the second, the magic of Tolito Aguirre operates! Tito is also comfortable, and the Argentinians manage to make the entry break. They will never let go and will manage to stick to a sleeve everywhere.

Pincho and Diestro increase their level of play at the start of the deciding set. They make the break in the 4th game and confirm it in the next one.

The match reached heights in terms of level of play, with very spectacular points, but the Spaniards managed to keep the upper hand. They even make a second break to conclude the match quietly. 6/1
