A year after lifting the trophy at the Arkéa Arena alongside Jon Sanz, Coki Nieto come back to Bordeaux land with the ambition of returning to victory. This tournament, which he brilliantly won in 2024, remains one of only two titles he won that season, along with the Barcelona Finals at the end of the year.
Today associated with mike yanguas, the Spaniard occupies the 8th place world and forms the number 4 seed in Bordeaux. Since their semi-final at Major of Doha, the duo struggles to confirm: five tournaments without reaching the last four, including early eliminations at Valladolid from the first round, or even two defeats in the last sixteen.
On the ice of the Mériadeck ice rink, Nieto seems to want to rekindle the spark. He and Yanguas have mastered their entry into the competition against the French Dylan Guichard and Maxime Joris, beneficiaries of a wild card, with a clear victory: 6 / 2 6 / 2. An encouraging success, but the next round could well hold a new shock for them against Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal, who defeated Nieto in Valladolid and who have just beaten the new pair Alex Chozas and Miguel Lamperti, who made their debut together in Gironde.
Other new pairs also make their appearance in this Premier Padel Betclic Bordeaux P2. The veteran Sanyo Gutiérrez et Gonzalo Alfonso have already launched their campaign with a first victory. This Tuesday, it's the turn of the whimsical Tolito Aguirre and the powerful Javi Garrido to enter the stage. Facing them: Gonzalo Rubio and Javi Ruiz, recently titled at FIP Silver of Palermo.
The show is also provided by the best world pairs, expected today on the central court. First of all Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia will face Juan Cruz Belluati and Pablo Lijó. Then, it's time for Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán, opposed to Íñigo Jofre and Álex Arroyo.
On the absent side, we note the notable forfeits of Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk in men, as well as Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay in the women's table. The French public had to say goodbye to Léa Godallier, aligned with the Spaniard Laura Luján against Bea Caldera and Lorena Rufo this morning. There is still one French player in this tournament with Alix Collombon.
