The Spaniards Paquito Navarro (8) et paul cardona (20), seeded 5 in the tournament, were eliminated in their first match by the Argentinians Ramiro Moyano (51) et Juan Cruz Belluati (46), in three sets: 3/6 6/4 7/5.
This underperformance can be explained by the lack of rhythm of Pablo Cardona, who had not participated in a tournament for almost a month. In addition, the disappointment of Paquito Navarro at the World Championships the previous week, where he lost alongside mike yanguas in the third decisive match of the final against the Argentines, could have affected him.
Also note the Difficult conditions of the tournament, with intense heat that sparked many complaints from players.
Ramiro Moyano and Juan Cruz Belluati will play tomorrow against Alex Arroyo et Alex Ruiz to try to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
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 !
