The WPT Cascais Padel Master 2019 continues its imposing pace. We enter the main draw with some nice surprises. While on the men's side, there are unfortunately no more representatives, the French have rather achieved good results. Direction Cascais.

Positive results of the French

  • Melissa Martin and her partner María Vera bow in the first round of pre-qualifying 6 / 1 6 / 3.
  • Léa Godallier and Carmen García Pardo spend 2 pre-qualifying rounds with impressive results. 6 / 0 6 / 2 for the first match and 6 / 0 6 / 1 for the second. The adventure stops in the first qualifying match after 2 / 6 6 / 1 6 / 4 against Sara Pujals and Lorena Alonzo.
  • Laura Clergue and Barbara Las Heras Monterde also fall in the first round of qualifications, also in 3 sets (6 / 3 4 / 6 6 / 2), after being out of pre-qualifying.
  • Alix Collombon and Nicole Traviesa start their tournament today.

What is retained from the male chart?

We will remember, for the moment, the difficult entry in matters of Pablo Lima and Ale Galan who overcome Alvaro Cepero and Pablo Lijos (winners a few days ago of the Challenger of Outeiro de Rei) on the score of 7 / 6 7 / 5.

Martin S. Piñeiro and Alex Ruiz will need 3 sets to break away from Ricardo Martinez Sánchez and Raúl Marcos, while the new pair Federico Quiles and Cristian Gutièrrez create a surprise by taking out Jorge Nieto Ruiz and Javier Rico Dasi 4 / 6 6 / 3 6 / 3.

No problem for Stupa / Diaz and Paquito / Lebron who pass without worry their first round.
