The  Brussels P2 quarter-finals  confirmed a trend that has been developing for several weeks:  Coello / Tapia  win, but without a margin, while  Galan / Chingotto  they continue with the demonstrations.

Facing  Coki Nieto  et  Jon sanz The world number ones had to work hard again. Having already proven capable of making them doubt themselves in the past, the Spaniards did it again in Belgium. More solid in the rallies and tactically very precise, they neutralized the duo for a long time.  Coello / Tapia  less sharp than usual.

The first set went to a tie-break, due to a few errors from the world number 6 pair. But then,  Nieto and Sanz  They never give up and take advantage of their opponents' hesitations to catch up with a  7/5 We had to wait for a more disjointed third set, marked by fatigue, to see  Tapia and Coello  to make a difference ( 6/3 A victory, but without real control.

At the same time, their potential future adversaries did not tremble.

 Yanguas and Stupaczuk are gaining strength 

Opposed to  Campagnolo / Bautista ,  mike yanguas  et  Franco Stupaczuk  They delivered a complete performance. Intensity, precision, aggression: they had it all. The result was clear,  6 / 1 6 / 2 , with Yanguas playing a very prominent role.

After the final loss in Newgiza, the pair coached by  Carlos Pozzoni  They seem to be finding their footing at the right time. They will be a real test for the number ones who are still getting into shape.

 Galán and Chingotto, the machine is up and running 

In the other part of the table,  Alejandro Galán  et  Fede Chingotto  continue to set the pace. Facing  Paquito Navarro  et  Fran Guerrero Despite their confidence, the match was short-lived:  6 / 1 6 / 0  in less than an hour.

The relatively rapid conditions favor their complementarity:  Chingotto  dictates the tempo,  Gallant  The points are up. The duo hasn't lost since Cancún and is showing impressive consistency.

 Lebrón finds Galán, finally 

The semi-final will pit  Galan / Chingotto  à  Juan Lebrón  et  Leo Augsburg They have ruled out  Alonso / Goñi  ( 7 / 5 6 / 4 ) seriously.

Beyond the sporting aspect, all eyes will be on the reunion between  Gallant  et  Lebrón , a match that had been anticipated since the beginning of the season and which had never materialized before.

 A logical final four 

Although the four best pairs of the moment are present, the dynamics are very different.
On the one hand,  Coello / Tapia  They are moving forward despite the difficulties.
The other,  Galan / Chingotto  They impress with their mastery.

Brussels could well offer a new chapter to their rivalry… provided that the number 1s significantly raise their level in the semi-final.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
