Cardona/Augsburger vs. Sanz/Gonzalez

 The flagship poster of the round of 16 

It was one of the most anticipated matches of these last 9, pitting the number XNUMX seed against  Leo Augsburger / Pablo Cardona , finalists last week in Paraguay, seeded No. 5  Momo Gonzalez / Jon Sanz These two pairs had already faced each other in Asuncion, where  Cardona / Augsburger  had taken the upper hand in the eighth. This time, the Spaniards had revenge to take.

 Gonzalez / Sanz  began the match with remarkable intensity. From the start, they imposed their rhythm, achieved a double break and confirmed their dominance with a white game on serve to lead 5-0. In slow playing conditions,  Cardona / Augsburger  struggle to rely on their usual offensive power, especially their smash. The first set is one-sided:  Sanz / Gonzalez  won 6/1 thanks to aggressive play, 18 winning shots, and only 3 unforced errors against 8 for their opponents.

In the second set,  Sanz / Gonzalez  continue their momentum. They break early to lead 2/1, then roll out to 5/1, relying in particular on the  viper  and the  roller  de  Sanz , which maintain  Cardona / Augsburger  across the width of the court. The young pair reacted to get back to 5/4, but the Spaniards finished solidly on their serve and won 6/1 6/4 in 1h05.

 Momo Gonzalez / Jon Sanz  delivered a very accomplished match: aggressive from the first exchanges, solid in defense as well as in attack, and impressive in transitions and movement speed. Their winning shots / unforced errors ratio is higher than that of their opponents (44 winning points for 10 errors). They even hit more winning smashes than  Cardona / Augsburger , although renowned as a reference in this field, but less effective in these slower conditions.

it's about the  first victory  de  Sanz / Gonzalez  face  Cardona / Augsburger  (defeats in Riyadh and Asuncion), but also of their  first victory against a pair from the world Top 10 .

Yanguas / Nieto eliminated in the last 16
