Alejandra Salazar, 10th player in the world, had not reached a semi-final on the circuit Premier Padel for three months, his last appearance dating back to Seville in May. She found this level again in Finland P2, in a duo with Veronica Virseda, finalist in Bordeaux. Seeded No. 5, they beat Lucia Sainz and Patty Llaguno (No. 4) 7/6 6/0, a pair clearly tested by the many recent matches.

Salazar and Virseda will face, at 16 p.m. local time, Marta Ortega (former partner of Virseda) and Sofia Araujo, who played with Salazar last year. The No. 2 seeds beat Marina Guinart and Nuria Rodriguez (No. 8) 6/1 6/2.

The other semi-final, scheduled for 10 a.m. Finnish time, will pit Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez (seeded no. 1) against Andrea Ustero and Ale Alonso, a duel between European champions.

In the quarter-finals of the men's draw, Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz eliminated Mike Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk (n°2) 6/4 7/6 after an intense tie-break ending 13/11. Nieto and Sanz, seeded No. 6, will aim for another title Premier Padel after that of Bordeaux, facing Pablo Cardona and Paquito Navarro (n°3), who beat Alex Arroyo and Sanyo Gutierrez (n°8) 7/5 7/6.

The semi-final at the top of the table will pit Martin Di Nenno and Juan Lebron (n°1) against Momo Gonzalez and Edu Alonso (n°7). Di Nenno and Lebron beat Tino Libaak and Alex Chozas 6/1 7/6, while FIP Platinum Sardinia winners Gonzalez and Alonso eliminated qualifying starters Luis Hernandez and Inigo Jofre 6/4 6/2.
