There are victories that mark a career. Alejandro Calvo and Albert Threshing achieved a small feat by dominating Miguel Lamperti, a true padel legend, from the first round of the FIP Platinum Puebla in Mexico. Facing the Argentinian and his compatriot Agustin Torre, the two young Spaniards, ranked respectively 280e et 248e in the ranking FIP, were able to hold their own to impose themselves 6-3 3-6 7-6 and secure their place in the round of 16.

This major performance is not the only surprise of the day. Still in the men's draw, the Mexicans Jose Angel Montoya et Juan Pablo Castillo defied the odds by eliminating the number 3 seed, made of Iván Ramírez et Diego Arredondo, on the score of 7-6 6-4. On the other hand, a successful entry into the competition for Tolito Aguirre et Gonza Alfonso, finalists of the P2 of Gijón, who have mastered Carballo/Montaño 6-0 6-4.

In the women's table, seven of the eight seeded pairs have secured their qualification for the second round. The only notable surprise was the elimination of the pair Marta Talaván/Ksenia Sharifova, seeded n ° 7, beaten by Sofia Saiz and Marina Lobo after a three-set fight: 6-3 3-6 6-3.
