This is the first upset of the first tournament of the South American tour of the year at the Asunción P2 Paquito Navarro and Francisco Guerrero were defeated.  6 / 4 7 / 6  against the new pairing of Juan Tello and Maxi Arce. A poor performance for the  seeded 5 , in a complicated period, as the pair already have to separate after the Italy Major Premier Padel 2026.

After three consecutive quarter-finals on the circuit Premier PadelThis elimination in the first round represents another setback for the  global 8 number And this defeat could also have consequences for  world ranking , since Leo Augsburger is returning less than  200 point  by Paquito. In the event of a good result for the Juan Lebrón / Augsburger pair in Asunción, the Spaniard could still lose places in the ranking.

On the side of  Tello / Arce This success obviously represents a very positive start. However, this performance should be put into perspective, as the Navarro/Guerrero pairing is currently alternating between good and less good form. The next round will reveal more about the true potential of this new partnership, which will almost certainly face Pablo Lijó and Pablo Garcia, or the Miguel Lamperti/Martin Abud pair.
