Le Cancun P2 enters its final stretch with semi-finals that will pit the tournament favorites against outsiders determined to create a surprise. Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk, unique representatives of the Top 50 in the table, continue their journey without a hitch and will be at the rendezvous of the last four.

Lebrón / Stupa: a well-controlled quarter-final

The pair Hispanic-Argentine, who chose not to follow the boycott of Top 100 on this P2, won his quarter-final against Clément Geens and Alejandro Jerez Carnero in two sets 6 / 2 6 / 4A victory that took shape in a little over an hour, with a dominated first set and a more close second set where Geens and Jerez tried to worry the favorites without success.

In the semi-finals, Lebrón and Stupa will face Nacho Moragues and Marc Sintes, two young players aged 19 and 18, ranked respectively 147th and 153rd in the FIP. A seemingly unbalanced opposition on paper, but the young Spaniards have already proven that they have character by beating in the quarter-finals seeded 7, Alberto García and Christian Medina, in three sets 4/6 6/2 6/3.

Tolito and Alfonso on the road to a new final?

In the other part of the table, Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso, 3 seeded, continue their ascent. After their title at the FIP Platinum Puebla, they are one victory away from a third consecutive final.

In the semi-finals, they will challenge Simon Vasquez and Adam Axelsson, the surprise of the tournament. The Swedish hit hard in the quarter by eliminating Curro Cabeza and Diego García (TS2) with a score of 7/6(4) 6/3, thus securing a place in the semi-finals in a tournament where they were not among the favorites.

Lebrón / Stupa vs Tolito / Alfonso in the final?

If the hierarchy is respected, the final could oppose Lebrón / Stupa in Tolito / Alfonso, a poster that would have a particular flavor with opposing playing styles. But watch out for the outsiders, who will have everything to gain and no pressure in these semi-finals.

Cancun P2 semi-finals too unbalanced?
Benjamin Dupouy

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 !
