Yesterday's match at Buenos Aires P1 was marked by several surprises, with the elimination of three seeded players, including that of Garrido / Libaak, who have been struggling since the beginning of their collaboration. The main favorite pairs, on the other hand, held their own and validated their ticket to the round of 16.

Libaak / Garrido, in search of a trigger

The world's 10nd pair, Tino Libaak et Javi Garrido, has suffered a third consecutive defeat on the circuit Premier Padel by losing their first match 6/2 7/6 against Pablo Lijó / Juan Cruz Belluati.

A surprise on paper, since the pair are seeded number 10 in the competition in Argentina and form a promising team, made up of Libaak (19 years old and 28th) and Garrido (25 years old and 16th). This association, which was created and made its debut at the Brussels P2, has had a very difficult start to its collaboration on the track, with no victories recorded in the last three tournaments Premier Padel.

In Buenos Aires P1, the pair were keen to perform to gain confidence, particularly Libaak, who was playing in his country. But the reality is quite different: after 1 hour and 27 minutes of play and a second set in which they led 5/2, the pair lost 6/2 7/6, and doubts are well established around this association.

Much more effective in returning serve, especially on second serves, the pair Pablo Lijó / Juan Cruz Belluati face Stupa et Lebron in the round of 16.

Ruiz/Sánchez and Aguirre/Alfonso eliminated

Other seeded players beaten in their first round on the men's side:

Álex Ruiz et Max Sanchez, seeded number 11, also had a difficult start to the association. They recorded a second defeat in the first round in as many tournaments on the circuit Premier Padel. After 2 hours and 14 minutes of play, they lost in three sets (6/4 1/6 4/6) against Aris Patiniotis / david gala, authors of a solid performance, with 100% of break points converted.

Argentines Aguirre / Alfonso, seeded number 16, failed to impose themselves in front of their home crowd. They fell to the pair Esbri / Right handed, revelation of the last tournament in Paraguay where they eliminated the world number 1s and reached the semi-finals. The Spanish logically won 6/2 6/2 and confirmed their good momentum since the beginning of their association, with a Juanlu Esbri very inspired offensively. Esbri / Right handed will find Chingotto / Gallant in the round of 16.
