The tournament starts strong at Brussels P2 with several surprises from the first round, including the unexpected elimination of No. 8 seed Libaak / Garrido. While some new pairings already seem promising, others are struggling to make a name for themselves in their first appearances. Here's a look at how these new pairings got off to a great start.
Libaak / Garrido: a painful first
The # 8 seed fall from his entry into the competition against Eduardo Agustin Torre et Álvaro Cepero. A notable underperformance, because this seed is none other than the brand new pair Valentino Libaak / Javier Garrido.
The Spanish-Argentinian duo bows in three sets : 1/6 7/5 7/5. A defeat that was difficult to take, especially since this association was created somewhat by default, after each of the two players has been abandoned by their previous partner. This first tournament together So it starts in the worst possible way. Before jumping to conclusions, we will have to wait for the next deadlines to see if the pair manages to trouver des reperes and chain the positive results.
On the side of Cepero / Torre, this victory represents a very good result and a great performance to be highlighted.



Di Nenno / Tello flies over their entrance
Martin Di Nenno and Juan Tello, new 100% Argentinian pair, made short work of Miguel Benitez / Javier Martínez, with a clear and uncontested victory: 6 / 1 6 / 1. An introduction very serene, even though the opposition was undoubtedly less raised than in other matches in the table.
Chozas and Domínguez, close to creating a surprise
Among the new associations, some are clearly short duration. We know that it was simply a matter of find an available player for Alex Chozas, left without a partner after separation with Álex Ruiz.
And yet, Chozas and Facundo Domínguez came close to a small feat in the first round. They lost in three sets hanging : 7/5 3/6 6/1 face Edu Alonso / Alex Arroyo.
